Torr Vale Mill, Cotton mill building in New Mills, England.
Situated on a rocky outcrop at the base of the Torrs gorge, the stone mill structure stands alongside the River Goyt with large industrial windows.
Built in the late 1780s by Daniel Strafford, the mill operated continuously until December 2000, maintaining the longest period of cotton production in Britain.
The mill bears witness to the industrial development of New Mills through its architecture, water power usage, and textile manufacturing techniques across centuries.
Walking routes from New Mills town center lead directly to the mill site, where information boards detail the historical manufacturing processes.
The mill utilized both water wheels and steam power simultaneously from 1856 until the 1940s when electrical power took over operations.
