Celebrating 150 years of history, this fascinating, in-depth, large-format book looks at the the Great Laxey Mine on the Isle of Man from its very beginnings to its eventual decline as the mineral vein became more elusive and competition ores brought about a fall in profits. Lavishly illustrated with archive photographs (many in colour), detailed maps and original plans for the Lady Isabella Wheel. In addition the other mines in the Laxey area are also described, including Snaefell Mine, Glen Roy Mine, North and East Laxey Mines and Dhoon Rhennie Mine.
