Newtown is an area of the town of New Mills, in the High Peak borough of Derbyshire, England. It is situated to the south-west of New Mills town centre, on the road towards Disley. The area lies beside the county boundary between Cheshire and Derbyshire. [1]
Newtown originally formed part of the parish of Disley and the county of Cheshire; most of it became part of Derbyshire under the Local Government Act 1888. [2] On 31 December 1894, Newtown became a separate civil parish; subsequently, on 1 April 1934, the parish was abolished and merged with New Mills. [3]
In 1931, the parish had a population of 1,421. [4]
Newtown is served by New Mills Newtown railway station, which is a stop on the Buxton line. There is generally one train per hour in each direction between Manchester Piccadilly and Buxton, via Stockport; trains run every two hours each way on Sundays. [5]
Bus services are operated by Stagecoach Manchester and High Peak Buses. Routes connect the area with New Mills, Glossop, Hayfield, Macclesfield, Marple and Stockport. [6]
