Port Erin

Port Erin as seen in Episode 85 (4th October 1961).

Port Erin is a seaside village in the south-west of the Isle of Man. In Victorian times, it had a strong tourist trade but this declined during the Twentieth Century.

In October 1961, newly-weds Harry and Concepta Hewitt spent their honeymoon in the town, staying at the Cresta Hotel. Harry wondered if he had made a mistake with the choice of resort which could prove to be chilly but Concepta assured him that she was fine with the place.

No location filming took place in the town. All scenes were recorded in studio with a photocaption showing the resort used in Episode 85 (4th October 1961).
