Help needed.
I'm preparing with a friend for an event here in my hometown Orebro, Sweden January 10th 2015. All Swedes who has competed in Isle of Man-races through the years are invited with friends and family. There are more than 50 riders. The first one was 1928. Some other TT- and MGP-fans will show up as well. We will show a collection of old pictures shot by a friend of mine, Ake Jakobsson, who has passed now. There will as well be a lot of pictures from other times, some film and lectures about the island. Bjorn Gunnarsson who made a good race this year in MGP is coming and he will tell about his experiences and his (hopefully) start in the TT 2015. Lunch and dinner of course. Ake was in Isle of Man 1970 and I have a question. He has shot a picture from inside the van belonging to Borje Jansson who raced the TT 1970 and 1971. It's from the paddock. The building in the background is my question. Is it still there. As I remember it's gone. What was it, please? EDIT: I forgot to write that the picture was shot 1970.

Hi Silja

That's the old prison. It is now at Jurby. I think it has only been knocked down recently.

Silja
For future reference, your picture is too big and so some of your text is not viewable.

Much better - we wouldn't want to upset Malcolm as he is doing a very worthwhile job.

Yep definitely the old prison. A and B wings, knocked down now and the site is up for sale for redevelopment. Splashdown is correct the new one is in Jurby right next to the motordrome.
