The Laxey Wheel

　　The Laxey Wheel, commonly known as "Lady Isabella," is a massive waterwheel located in the village of Laxey on the Isle of Man in the United Kingdom. Laxey is a very famous attraction on the Isle of Man. This large red waterwheel is the world's largest working waterwheel still in existence. The wheel is situated just 7 miles from Douglas, the capital of the Isle of Man, and is easily accessible by road.

　　The Laxey Wheel was built in 1854 and was originally a large machine used to power the local mining ore transport. Its nickname "Lady Isabella" comes from the name of Lady Isabella Hope, the wife of Charles Hope, the then Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man. The Laxey Wheel was designed and constructed by Robert Casement. It stands 22.1 meters high, is 1.83 meters wide, and rotates about three times per minute. On September 24, 2004, marking the 150th anniversary of the Laxey Wheel, a grand celebration was held locally. Today, the Laxey Wheel is a part of the British heritage and no longer serves its original industrial function but instead welcomes visitors as a popular tourist attraction.
