Groudle Glen, Isle of Man - July 24, 2022
This waterwheel is situated in the Groudle Glen on the path between the MER station and the Groudle Glen Railway Station, just outside of Douglas. This water wheel was originally built in 1893 and was designed to pump water to the Groudle Hotel and power electric lights in the area. The wheelhouse was rebuilt in 1954 when the Groudle Glen was attracting tourists due to rumors that the wheelhouse and Groudle Glen area were haunted. In 1986, the water wheel was featured in an episode of BBC’s Lovejoy series under the fictional name “Little Isabella” and henceforth, the water wheel has lovingly adopted the name. The Groudle Glen water wheel continued to be a feature for tourists to the Isle of Man, but in October 2002, the water wheel was damaged significantly by storms in the area. The waterwheel was restored in 2020.
