Exploring Island Heritage - Tuesday, 30th October 2018

On this week’s edition of Exploring Island Heritage, we’ll be finding out more about part of the Island’s industrial history.

We take a trip to Laxey to speak to local historian Andrew Scarffe about the mining industry in the village, and find out more about the part the Great Laxey Wheel played from Curator of Social History for Manx National Heritage Matthew Richardson.

We also speak to Curator of Social History Yvonne Cresswell about the notable Manx-born artists featured in the national art collection, and find out more about a temporary exhibition showcasing the talents of Archibald Knox.

The exhibition is accompanied by a special programme of events, you can find out more on the Manx National Heritage website.
