The Snaefell Wheel, Laxey (also known as Lady Evelyn Wheel) photographed on February 19, 2013. The waterwheel stands on the old washing floors of the Laxey Mine, which after the closure of the mine were converted into Laxey Valley Gardens, retaining many of the features of the dressing floors. The Lady Evelyn is located around 700 metres from the larger Lady Isabella Waterwheel.
The wheel was originally bought by the Snaefell Mining Company in 1865 from the Hawarden Iron Works in Flintshire, Wales.
In 1910 the wheel was sold to for further use in Cornwall. It was acquired by the Trevithick Society in 1971 and a few years later loaned to the Llywernog Silver Lead Mining Museum near Aberystwyth in Wales who did not restore it.
The parts were returned to the Isle of Man and reconstruction began in 2003 being completed in 2006. The wheel was named Lady Evelyn in recognition of the work of Evelyn Jones of the Laxey Mines Research Group.
