Torrs Vale Mill & Riverside Park New Mills High Peak Derbyshire

Torrs Riverside Park New Mills
The town of New Mills in Derbyshire, south east of the urban areas of Stockport and Manchester, has a long history of industry that is now preserved as part of the Torrs Riverside Park.
Torr Vale Mill & Riverside Park High Peak
The River Goyt has created a gorge through the sandstone here and it was the waters of the Goyt and Sett that initially powered some of the first mills of Britain’s Industrial Revolution.
At the foot of the gorge stand the ruins of the now derelict Torr Mill, which was destroyed by a blaze in 1912 and not rebuilt. The remains of Rock Mill also stand on the river bank. Torr Vale Mill was in operation until 2000 and was the longest operating mill in the country having started in the 1780’s - over 200 years of continuous operation.
