The large building is Quarry Bank House. This was built in 1797 for Samuel Greg, owner of the adjacent Quarry Bank Mill, and his family. It is a Grade II listed building (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-414951-quarry-bank-house- British Listed Buildings). The stone footbridge over the River Bollin, in the foreground next to Quarry Bank Mill, was built for the Gregs in 1820. It carries the path to Morley as well as giving access from the mill to mill meadow (from where this photo was taken) and the garden. It is also a Grade II listed building (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-414952-the-packhorse-bridge- British Listed Buildings).
