Milntown House was the home of the late Sir Clive Thomas and Bob Thomas who had a splendid collection of bikes and cars housed in what was the Parish Mill. Bob was co-owner (with Beaulieu) of the Freddie Dixon banking sidecar and owner of the surviving 1922 Vauxhall four-cylinder motorcycle (fabulous machine - I've ridden it!)
The house is now run by the Milntown Trust, who intend to open the grounds to the public next year. They are in the process of installing the neccessary amenities (loos, etc.). I feel it would make a worthy site for a TT Museum, I have many contacts who would dearly love to exhibit their bikes and artefacts in a permanent TT museum, possibly rotating machines on a yearly basis so it is fresh from one TT to the next.
I'm on the Great Flapjack Foray of Life - can't you tell!
