Laxey Glen Mill

Archaeology

The site of a modern textile mill. The Ordnance Survey First edition mapping of 1869 shows a mill race and an unmarked industrial complex at this location.  


The building began life as a water-powered spinning mill in the 18th century, but was converted for use as a paper mill in the 1820s. It was subsequently substantially extended through the 19th century until converted for use as a power station serving the Manx Electric Railway.  It now serves as a workshop.
