Cressbrook Mill has been tastefully re-developed using a combination of complementary new build and careful renovation of existing listed buildings to provide a superb range of apartments and houses in four buildings: |
|
||||
|
|
The Bobbin Mill - New build with 1 and 2 bed apartments The Arkwright Mill - New build with 2 and 3 bed apartments The Wye Mill - Original building with 2 and 3 bed apartments The Mint House and Forge House
|
||||
|
The original mill was constructed by Sir Richard Arkwright in
1785, and still stands as the part of the mill closest to the river, but the
magnificent main building was erected in 1815 by Arkwright's agent, William
Newton, a local character whom Anna Seward dubbed 'The Minstrel of the
Peak'. The mill brought work and prosperity to the area and the mill owners
were responsible for the construction of most of the village, starting with
the apprentices' cottages just behind the mill building, which predate the
main building by several years.
The photograph is believed to date from around the turn of the century. |
