Old Mill Chimney!
After spending some time in the garden this morning we went a walk this afternoon around the village. We passed the oldest chimney in Trawden but I don't know which one it was.
The coming of cotton played a very important part in the development of Trawden.
Possibly the first mills in Trawden were Lodge Holme Mill and Folly Mill.
They were built as cotton spinning mills and were water powered, both having a weir and a dam to supply the water. An abundance of running water was one of the major factors in the siting of the cotton mills.
So not sure which one but Ted had a good look at it.
