Staged Institutional Relocation
- When
- 1860s
- Where
- Douglas
Population growth in the 1860s led to the staged transfer of the High Courts from Castletown to Douglas.
During the 1860s, population growth in Douglas resulted in the staged transfer of the High Courts from the ancient capital, Castletown, to Douglas. The Lieutenant Governor's residence, though part of the same staged transfer, was actually located in nearby Onchan and is therefore not treated as occurring within Douglas.
