    It was built in 1854 to pump away water from the Glen Mooar part of the Great Laxey Mines industrial complex. It was named "Lady Isabella" after the wife of Lieutenant Governor Charles Hope, who was the island's governor at that time.
    The wheel is currently maintained by Manx National Heritage as part of the Great Laxey Wheel & Mines Trail.
    The wheel features today on the reverse side of the £20 notes issued by the Isle of Man Government

      I went for an evening wander here, although it was shut and I couldn't enter I still managed to get some great pictures. My grandad visited the Laxey Wheel 60 years ago and he recommended this place to me.
