The Coppermines Lake Cottages has reinstalled a historic power wheel

The Coppermines Lake Cottages has reinstalled a wheel that was used to provide power to the Victorian sawmill from 1850.

The managing director, Phil Johnston, said: “When the opportunity came knocking for us to restore this beautiful feature, we couldn’t say no. There’s no doubt that the decision will be welcomed by everybody, from local historians to guests. My team is already getting on with the work, and I expect it to be fully completed in early 2020.”

Set in the heart of the majestic Coppermines Valley, The Coppermines Lake Cottages is a popular wedding venue with a range of accommodation available.

Rebecca Forsman, from The Coppermines Lake Cottages, said: “We can guarantee that no two weddings held here are ever the same. The addition of the waterwheel is one which we’re very excited about, and we know our guests will be too!”
