Gregs Mill, Styal, Cheshire (1904): A Glimpse into the Past Nestled in the picturesque village of Styal, Wilmslow, Cheshire, England, stands the charming and historic Gregs Mill. This photograph, captured in the year 1904, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the mill in all its glory. Gregs Mill, a Grade II listed building, is believed to have been established in the late 17th or early 18th century. It was once a vital part of the local community, contributing to the textile industry that thrived in the region during that time. The mill, powered by a stream that flows from Styal Moor, was used to grind corn and, later, to spin cotton. The image reveals the mill's red-brick facade, with its arched windows and chimney stack, standing proudly against the backdrop of the lush, green countryside. The mill pond, located at the bottom of the hill, reflects the clear blue sky and the surrounding trees, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The tranquility of the image belies the industrious past of the mill. The sound of the waterwheel turning, the clatter of looms, and the hum of activity would have filled the air as the millworkers toiled away, producing essential goods for the local community and beyond. Today, Gregs Mill is a cherished piece of local history, a reminder of a bygone era. It has been lovingly restored and is now home to the Styal Mill Trust, which aims to preserve and promote the heritage of the mill and the village. Visitors can explore the mill, learn about its history, and even take part in various activities, ensuring that the stories of the past are not forgotten.
