Makeover for Castletown's former police station?

Castletown's former police station could soon find a new use as a reception area for tourists.

Manx National Heritage has applied for permission to change the use of the building, which was designed by renowned architect Baillie Scott and built in 1901.

MNH says it wants to create a hub area for those visiting a number of nearby tourist facilities run by Marlinspike Properties.

In its application, it adds part of the building would be kept for public use, such as a display gallery, exhibition space, and pop-up food and drink events.
