Lady Isabella facelift

by isleofman.com 25th March 2015

A major refurbishment of Laxey Wheel has been completed.


The structure has been shrouded in scaffolding all winter so that it could be restored to its former glory. The Manx National Heritage scheme involved changing several of the wheel spokes that had become rotten, repointing the stonework and using specialist coatings to repaint the wheel.


The wheel will now be open in time for Easter and the summer season.
