Quarry Bank Cheshire

One of the UK's greatest industrial heritage sites and home to a complete industrial community

At the National Trusts Quarry Bank in Cheshire, you can discover a complete industrial community and experience the very different worlds of owner and worker, who lived and worked here side by side.

In 1784 huge change came to the village of Styal when Samuel Greg established his cotton mill. Powered by the water of the river Bollin and the toil of the workers, the Greg family business was part of a turning point in our history.

Discover the mill and experience heritage machinery in action and feel the floors shake as the spinning machines turn and the looms weave. 

Quarry Bank also has a large events calendar throughout the year with a mix of events for all ages.
