The Lady Evelyn Waterwheel
The Lady Evelyn Waterwheel
Watermill
In 1865 a 50.5 ft diameter waterwheel was built to pump water out of the Snaefell Mine. When the mine closed in 1907 the waterwheel was sold and moved to Cornwall. In 2003 the wheel was returned to the island, where it was reassembled in the Laxey Valley Gardens. The wheel is now owned and operated by the Laxey and Lonan Trust.
