Looking into the gorge of the River Goyt in New Mills. Torr Vale Mill, built around 1788 by Daniel Stafford, is being re-roofed.At first water-powered, then by steam, the mill closed in 2000, after 200 years of use. On the left is the Millennium Walkway, designed and constructed by Stan Brewster, an engineer employed by Derbyshire County Council; he sadly lost his life in the London bombings on 7 July, 2005.
