Stonebreakers Hut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stonebreakers Hut or "Black Hut" (OS grid ref SC 405 885) is an acute left-hand corner on the primary A18 road in the parish of Lonan in the Isle of Man.

The Stonebreakers Hut is situated between the 29th Milestone and 30th Milestone on the Snaefell mountain course on the primary A18 road and is part of the Isle of Man TT course used since 1911. During the first lap of the 1934 Isle of Man TT Lightweight Race, Syd Crabtree, the winner of the 1929 Lightweight Race crashed at the Stonebreakers Hut on the Mountain Section and was killed.

This section of road including the Verandah Bends was subject to road-widing and re-profiled during the winter of 1971-1972. The two building structures that were owned by the Isle of Man Highway Board were removed in the 1980's but the corner retained the name on the Snaefell mountain course of the Stonebreakers Hut or Black Hut.
