            THE TOWER WAS BUILT TO COMMEMORATE THE ROYAL VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT AND QUEEN VICTORIA ON THE 20TH OF SEPTEMBER IN THE YEAR 1847. PRINCE ALBERT WAS ROWED ASHORE AT BALLURE WHERE HE MADE HIS WAY UP THE GLEN. THEN INTO LHERGY FRISSEL, WHERE HE CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. THERE HE VIEWED THE SURROUNDING TOWN OF RAMSEY AND THE NORTHERN PLAIN. THE HILL WAS RENAMED ALBERT MOUNT AND A YEAR LATER THE FOUNDATION OF THE TOWER WAS LAID. MADE OF GRANITE AND RISING 45 FEET HIGH, THE TOWER WOULD STAND AS A LANDMARK NOT ONLY FOR THE TOWN OF RAMSEY, BUT ALSO FOR THE ISLE OF MAN.
THE ALBERT TOWER ALSO FEATURES ON THE BACK OF THE ISLE OF MAN 2 PENCE (2P) COIN.
