An explanation of part of the remains of the Snaefell Mine.
The chimney remains on side of Snaefell, though the engine it once connected to has long since gone. That it was built tells us something important about a particular problem faced by the mine situated here so far up the Laxey Valley.

This is a part of a tour of the site by Andrew Scarffe. The full tour is available to watch here: https://culturevannin.im/watchlisten/videos/snaefell-mine-tour-724442/

Also available is a short film about the Snaefell Mine Disaster of 1897: https://culturevannin.im/watchlisten/videos/snaefell-mine-disaster-722986/

Andrew Scarffe is the author of 'The Snaefell Mine Disaster,' published in 2022 and now available from all good Manx bookshops.

This film was produced by Culture Vannin in 2022.
