Situated behind the Noojee Hotel which was first built in 1925 you will find the Noojee Waterwheel. It is said that the owner of the original hotel tried to generate his own power for the hotel They say the original Waterwheel was used to power an illegal gaming room, however this was never confirmed.
Today the waterwheel which you see is not the original. The original was said to have been quite a large structure which had wooden paddles. The one you will see today is of a metal structure.
