The Station Triskelion
The Station Triskelion
The concrete-cast Three Legs of Mann (“triskelion”) at the station stands in front of the goods shed on the down platform and was installed here in the spring of 1980; prior to this it had been a feature on the embankment at Peel Road Station on the old Ramsey Line; when the site here was cleared in 1975 following closure, the triskelion was removed and stored before being installed at is present location.
Originally featuring a circular surround which was found to be broken and not retained (the image below left shows the feature prior to being removed from Peel Road Station in its original condition), today the triskelion is tended by the Friends Of... volunteers and regularly repainted and decorative gravel replenished, the colour scheme has varied over the years, it is presently yellow, red and black.
