Knockaloe Farm, as seen from Corrin's Folly (to the North West of the farm). The farm was the location of a WWI internment camp for German, Austrian, Turkish and other "alien" nationals.
It was the location for Hall Caine's 1923 novel, 'The Woman of Knockaloe' (re-titled as 'Barbed Wire' in 1927). The narrative concerned the forlorn love between a Manx farmer's daughter and a German interned in the camp during WWI.
This was Hall Caine's last novel, and the final book he published during his lifetime. Long after the startling success of novels like The Deemster, The Manxman and The Eternal City, his writing was considered old fashioned by 1923 and the reviews of this book were not too encouraging. It sold well, but it inevitably caused outrage on the island, where people reacted strongly against even the fictional suggestion that a Manx woman could love a German.
