Horse Drawn Posted on November 26, 2010 by grum This form of public transport should never have been gotten rid of. It’s so nice to be pulled by a horse.
Crenulation Posted on November 25, 2010 by grum I’m always envious of people who live in castle-like houses. It’s the child in me.
Fishing Posted on November 24, 2010 by grum It looks so flimsy out there all alone. At least the sea is calm and flat.
General Electric Posted on November 22, 2010 by grum An early electrified railway. It is a nice sedate affair that takes you up one side of the island.

Mosaic Wall Posted on November 20, 2010 by grum This is a wall at the Laxey Mine showing the wheel and the railway. If you get up close you can see the amount of work that went into making it.
Distant Wheel Posted on November 19, 2010 by grum The wheel can be seen from far away as it is over 40 feet high. It certainly is a striking sight.

Turning Wheel Posted on November 17, 2010 by grum This is the wheel in action. It doesn’t look like much water is going across it though. I guess that what happens when it is just a museum piece.
