The Stationary Willberries - "Laxey Wheel" - Laxey, Isle of Man - Immortalized in Lyrics on Waymarking.com

The Waterwheel of the Great Laxey Mine, "Lady Isabella", was the inspiration for this song composed by Stuart Slack who is memorialised by a bench on Mines Road in Laxey. (visit link)

The chorus of the song is reproduced below:
'And the Laxey Wheel keeps turning, turning, turning,
In Lady Isabella's memory,
And while the water flows
The Laxey Wheel still goes
And the Laxey river runs down to the sea.'
