This view gives an impression of just how big the Laxey Wheel is ... The person in the red coat is about 5' 3" tall.

The modern view of the [cleaned up] main washing floor of the Great Laxey Mine - which produced Lead, Silver and Zinc ores, between about 1782 and 1929, from a very complex site. The red painted water-wheel has been restored. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laxey_Mine

A visit quite late in the day, so the wheel is at rest. This is a breast shot wheel, the feed from the leat is the wooden box on the left (about 10 o'clock), and the wheel rotates counter-clockwise, the tail race rejoins the Afon Einion behind and to the right of the camera's position. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_wheel#Breastshot_wheel
