Laxey Glen Mill
Archaeology
The site of a modern power station. 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 early 19th century, but was converted for use as a paper mill in the 1820s. A succession of proprietors operated and extended the mill through the 19th century until it was converted for use as a power station serving the Manx Electric Railway. It now serves as a workshop.
