Laxey Wheel conservation begins

Fri, 14 Jan 2022

Contractors have commenced work on a project to repair and conserve the Great Laxey Wheel.
 
Auldyn Construction won the tendering process and will undertake phase 1 of the project. 

This will see old render and defective timbers replaced and the wheel, housing, railings and viewing platform re-painted.

Works will take place over a four month period.   
 
Manx National Heritage says plans are being put in place for managed public access to see these major conservation works as they happen.
