A heritage charity has installed security cameras after its base was vandalised twice in the space of a matter of weeks.

Foxdale Heritage and Foxdale Heritage Centre said three more panes of glass were broken at the centre after two windows were smashed in an earlier incident.

The first damage was reported on September 11, when the charity said two windows had been broken, with large stones thrown through the glass.

The stones caused minor damage inside the building, with the charity describing the incident as a deliberate act.

Police attended the scene and the charity appealed for anyone with information to contact Peel Police Station.

Davy Craine subsequently boarded up the damaged windows before returning with Stewart Sayers to replace the broken panes.

However, the centre was targeted again, with one large and two smaller panes broken.

Police once again attended the scene and the charity has now installed CCTV cameras as it considers further measures to protect the building.

In a post on Tuesday, Foxdale Heritage said: ‘We have installed security cameras and will have to consider the options for protecting the glass.’

The latest damage has left the charity frustrated, particularly after a period of positive activity at the centre.

Peter Gurney came to the charity’s assistance by boarding up the three newly damaged windows.

The charity thanked everyone who had helped with the repairs and clean-up work following both incidents.

It is also continuing its community work, recently welcoming children from Foxdale School to the Heritage Centre.

The visit formed part of celebrations marking the 140th anniversary of the Heritage Centre building and the Foxdale Railway Line.

Children took part in sessions learning songs before the celebrations culminated in a Victorian Day held jointly with the school.

Anyone with information about either incident is asked to contact Peel Police Station or Foxdale Heritage.
