Brandish Corner

Brandish Corner, Road curve on Snaefell Mountain Course, Isle of Man.

Brandish Corner is a right-hand bend on the A18 Mountain Road in Onchan parish, between the 35th and 36th milestone markers. It lies on the Snaefell Mountain Course used for the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix. The inner and outer banks were removed in the winter of 2006–2007, and a permanent marshal shelter stands off the outside of the bend.

Brandish Corner lies on the A18 Mountain Road in Onchan parish, between the 35th and 36th milestones. It formed part of the Highland Course and Four Inch Course used for the Gordon Bennett Trial and Tourist Trophy car races from 1904 to 1922, and has been on the Snaefell Mountain Course since 1911. Earlier names were Upper Hillberry Corner, Telegraph Hill and O'Donnell's. In 1923 Walter Brandish broke a leg here in TT practice, and the bend took his name.

The corner is named after Walter Brandish, who broke a leg there in 1923, the first time a bend on the course was named after a rider. It was earlier called O'Donnell's, after a nearby farm or plot, as recorded in a 1913 report. A permanent marshal shelter stands in the outside of the bend, giving marshals a view from Gob-ny-Geay to Hillberry Corner.

The A18 Mountain Road here is public road open to two-way traffic outside race periods, so walkers should keep to the verge and watch for vehicles. A permanent marshal shelter stands well back from the track on the outside of the bend, giving marshals a view from Gob-ny-Geay to Hillberry Corner. The inside and outside banks were removed in the winter of 2006-2007, and the solid centre line was replaced by a broken one.

A permanent race marshal shelter stands well off the track on the outside of the bend, letting marshals see the circuit from Gob-ny-Geay to Hillberry Corner. The corner was also the first on the Mountain Course to be named after a rider, Walter Brandish, after his 1923 practice crash.
