New Mills is a town in Derbyshire, England, approximately 8 miles south-east of Stockport and 15 miles from Manchester. It lies at the confluence of the rivers Goyt and Sett, close to the border of Cheshire. The town stands above the Torrs, a 70 feet (21 m) deep gorge, cut through Woodhead Hill Sandstone of the Carboniferous period.
New Mills was first noted for coal mining, and then for cotton spinning and then bleaching and calico printing. New Mills was served by the Peak Forest Canal, three railway lines and the A6 trunk road. Redundant mills were bought up in the mid-twentieth century by a children's sweet manufacturer, Swizzels Matlow, famous for Love Hearts and Drumsticks. New Mills was a stronghold of Methodism.
New Mills is in the area formerly known as Bowden Middlecale
which was a grouping of ten hamlets. The name of New Mylne (New Mills) was given to it from a corn-mill, erected in 1391, near to the present Salem Mill on the River Sett in the hamlet of Ollersett. This was adjacent to a convenient bridge over the Sett. By the late sixteenth century the name was applied to the group of houses that grew up round it. Coal mining was the first industry of the area, with up to 40 small pits and mines exploiting the Yard Seam.
New Mills is approximately 182 miles (293 km) NNW of London and 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Stockport. It borders on Disley, in Cheshire, and Marple, in the Stockport Metropolitan Borough in Greater Manchester. The town is on the north-western edge of the Peak District, but only the eastern part of the parish is within the official boundaries of the National Park. The town includes the hamlets of Thornsett, Hague Bar, Rowarth, Brookbottom, Gowhole, and most of Birch Vale. Various parts of the town are given local names: Eaves Knoll (north-western part between Brook Bottom Road and Castle Edge Road); High Lee (northern part between Castle Edge Road and the River Sett); Hidebank (the area on the eastern side of the River Sett and north and west of the A6015); Low Leighton (the area south and east of the A6015); and Torr Top (the area around the confluence of the rivers).
New Mills Town Council hosts a free bonfire and fireworks display in High Lea Park during November, which in 2013 attracted an estimated 3,000 people. New Mills also plays host to the One World Festival every year, also in High Lea Park. The biggest event in the town's cultural calendar is New Mills Festival. Held during the last two weeks of September, it is two weeks of talks, walks, gigs, concerts, exhibitions, sport, competitions with a lantern procession and street party on the last Saturday.
New Mills sits above The Torrs, a dramatic gorge through which the Rivers Goyt and Sett flow. In a bend of the Goyt is Torr Vale Mill, a Grade II* listed building. The Torrs Millennium Walkway, overlooking the mill, was built at a cost of £525,000 (almost half from the Millennium Commission) by Derbyshire County Council's in-house engineers. The walkway spans the otherwise inaccessible cliff wall above the River Goyt. Part rises from the riverbed on stilts and part is cantilevered off the railway retaining wall. It provided the final link in the 225-mile (362 km) Midshires Way and was opened in April 2000.
Torrs Hydro is a 2.4-metre-diameter Screw turbine at the Torr Weir on the Goyt. The Reverse Archimedean Screw micro hydroelectric scheme generates 50 kW of electricity. Nicknamed Archie, it is owned by the community. The electricity is supplied to the local Co-operative supermarket, and any excess is fed back into the national grid.
New Mills is served by two railway stations: New Mills Central on the Hope Valley Line on the north bank of the River Goyt, and New Mills Newtown on the Buxton Line which runs on the south bank on the 175m contour. New Mills town centre and bus station is served by several bus services operated by High Peak and Stagecoach Manchester. The A6 road passes through Newtown, running close to the Buxton Line going north towards Stockport and Manchester and south towards Chapel-en-le-Frith and Buxton. The main street running through central New Mills is the A6015 connecting to the A6 and to Hayfield. The Peak Forest Canal was watered in 1796. It passes through Newtown, where there is a marina. It follows the 155m contour.

Stan Brewster
1953 - 2005
The construction of this unique walkway was led by Stan Brewster, Chartered Civil Engineer of Derbyshire County Council, who tragically lost his life in the London bombings on 7 July 2005.
Stan took a special pride in this project and the walkway now stands as a permanent reminder of his professional life and work.
Millenium Bridge, York, North Yorkshire - England, UK
The latest crossing point for the River Ouse was opened in 2001 and its design was based on the spokes of a bicycle wheel. This design is significant as the bridge was intended to provide a strategic crossing place for some of York's many cyclists. The bridge quickly became popular with more than 2,000 users per day, more than half of these were cyclists. As well as linking York's bicycle routes the bridge is an extremely pleasant place to walk from Ouse Bridge and return on the opposite bank of the river after crossing the Millenium Bridge.

Goyt River Walk
A walk beside the Goyt river, near Furness Vale and New Mills in the High Peak district of Derbyshire England. The video was taken using a new i-phone 3GS to test the new capabilities of the device. It is certainly not a great video camera and obviously has no image stabilization. Being extremely light to hold and its flat shape make serious panning and filming while walking quite difficult.
However considering that the device is primarily a phone and internet browser it really isn't that bad either. I happened to have my i-phone with me on this walk and pulled it out to take a few pics. Since it was easy to operate I decided to try taking movies with it and what you see is what I got.
The Goyt river valley is an exceedingly beautiful part of the world running through the High peak district of Derbyshire. The river has also been used from the 1700's to the early 1900's to provide water power at the Mills whose ruins are briefly shown in this video. Even now a new hydro-electric power station (Torrs Hydro) has been installed at the site of the Torrs Mill - unfortunately the water level was low and the time of my visit and insufficient to power the Archimedes screw generator.
