Summary
| Description |
English: Laxey Valley Gardens Showing the Snaefell Mine Waterwheel.
The Snaefell Mine was situated at the head of the Laxey Valley on the lower slopes of Snaefell Mountain. In 1865 a 50 and a half foot diameter waterwheel was built by L & G Howell of the Hawarden Ironworks in Flintshire to pump water from the mine. When the mine closed in 1908, the waterwheel was rebuilt in Cornwall. In the 1970's the components of the wheel were preserved by the Trevithick Society. The Laxey Mines Research Group, in conjunction with the Laxey and Lonan Heritage Trust, reached agreement in 2003 with the Trevithick Society to return the components to Laxey and re-erect the waterwheel at the Valley Gardens |
