Went to Quarry Bank Mill today. I have been wanting to go for a while but its not in an area (just south of Manchester airport) that I usually visit. It took about 50 minutes to get there and the sat nav took me past some seriously posh houses, all gated and worth millions. I think I've discovered where all the soccer players live in Cheshire!
Quarry Bank Mill was very interesting and there is a lot to see. The mill itself with working machinery and the biggest water wheel I have ever seen, the mill owners house, the gardens, the village and the apprentice house where the little children (aged 9 and up) lived while they worked in the mill. I would definitely recommend a visit.
