Tips

Ian Delve

was built for Samuel Oldknow in 1801. It originally comprised two cottages. One was occupied by the tollkeeper as the road was at the time a major route through the valley. The other was occupied by the sluiceman who operated the sluices which allowed water from the River Goyt to flow into Roman Lakes. The lakes provided water for Mellor Mill which prior to being destroyed by fire in 1892 was the largest cotton spinning mill in England. In the early 1900s the cottages were used as tearooms
