New Mills town in Derbyshire, England

New Mills is a small town in Derbyshire, England, approximately 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Stockport and 15 miles (24 km) 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. It is on the north-western edge of the Peak District, England's first national park.

The main approach to the hamlet is via an unadopted road from the south, connecting with Apple Tree Road. This continues north-east as a public bridleway and private driveway to Mellor Road. Public footpaths lead north-west and WSW across New Mills Golf Course, which is immediately west of the hamlet. [1]

History

The placename is thought to derive simply from "white hill". At one point, Whitle was part of the Lordship of Longdendale. [2] In 1713 the hamlet was included in the newly formed township of New Mills and to this day it remains within the town's boundaries. The Inclosure Act 1826 [3] refers to, and maps, four distinct areas within Whitle: New Mills Lee, Whitle Bank, Shaw Marsh and Broadhurst Edge.

Longdendale valley in the United Kingdom

Longdendale is a valley in the Peak District of England, north of Glossop and southwest of Holmfirth. The name means "long wooded valley" and the valley is mostly in the counties of Derbyshire and Greater Manchester.

By comparing maps and written records of the Whitle enclosure, Bryant [3] shows that, in 1826, the area contained around 20 buildings. These buildings included "Stafford's Mill", "Barnes's Mill", a "Whitle School" (on the site of 41–45 Mellor Road) and also a "Poor House" (set back from the southeastern end of present-day Watford Road). Close to the Poor House a toll gate was sited on what is now known as Batemill Road.

All of the major surviving buildings in Whitle were Grade II listed in 1977: Whitle Farmhouse [4] and its barn; [5] Bower House [6] and its barns; [7] Fold House; [8] Whitle Cottage; [9] Hilltop Cottage; [10] and Century Cottage, dated 1666. [11]
