I am very pleased to advise members of the following
"Industrial archaeologist Peter Geddes receives an MBE in recognition of 25 years' work in local history projects.
One of his proudest achievements was overseeing the Snaefell Wheel project which was completed in 2006."
Anyone Mine explorers / Industrial Archaeologists who ever goes over to "the Rock" - Pete's words will be always be met by his fantastic enthusiasm his achievements in returning the Snaelfell Mine Waterwheel, getting it restored and then brought back to the Island last year is a tribute well deserved. Unlike footballers or entertainers he has done some constructive that will remain in place for years to come.
