History of Europe/Isle_of_Man
<p>LMT Location - 54.1508N -4.4814E - Tynwald Hill ( Manx parliament )</p>
<p>The Isle of Man legislation is now on-line at <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.im">http://www.legislation.gov.im</a> Starting with the original Statutory Time Act in 1883 and including additional confirmation of some of the dates of the 'Summer Time' orders originating at Westminster. There is a little uncertainty as to the starting date of the first summer time in 1916 which may have be announced a couple of days late. There is still a substantial number of documents to work through, but it is thought that every GB change was also implemented on the island.</p>

<h3>Time Sources on the Island</h3>
<p>Castle Rushen Clock is apparently a present from <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Queen Elizabeth the First made in 1597 if the face is to be believed, But </span>http://castlerushenclockconservation.blogspot.co.uk has carried out testing while the clock has been extensivly restored, which does seem to confirm a 15th century date for the original wooden clock but with the face being aded some time later, and as a sun dial initially which was probably used to set the clock.<br />

<p>The Jubilee Clock Douglas at the junction of Victoria Street and Loch Promenade was presented to the people of Douglas by George Dumbell in 1887.<br />

<p>Douglas had an earlier town clock at least as early as 1790.</p>
