Looking along the steps of Oak Cottages, towards Styal County Primary School. The cottages and school were built in the early 1820s by Samuel Greg, owner of Quarry Bank Mill, to house the workers and educate the children. They form part of the estate developed by the Greg family and donated to the National Trust in 1939. They form part of the most complete and least altered factory colony of the Industrial Revolution. The school the row of cottages are both Grade II listed buildings.
