MNH attraction re-opens to the public
One of Manx National Heritage’s most prized attractions has re-opened to the public.
The Great Laxey Wheel has undergone a long and complex renovation process.
The task of officially re-starting the mechanism fell to Lady Philippa Lorimer - the wife of the Lieutenant Governor - maintaining a tradition established in 1854 when the wheel was first opened by Lady Isabella Hope.
For MNH project manager John Paul-Walker it was an emotional occasion:
Jail for man who stole nearly £70k from Western Civic Amenity Site
Court told employee was effectively 'stealing from the public'
"Halfway Horse Tram" not the only problem on the prom, says council leader
