Ingersley Vale Mill


Ingersley Vale or Clough mill was built by Edward Collier in 1792/93 as a cotton spinning mill. It was rebuilt after a fire in 1819.
Originally there was a smaller wheel house containing two overshot water wheels, one above the other, one of 22ft diameter, the other of 32ft, designed to use the water twice. When more power was required the wheel house was enlarged with the wheelhouse visible on the left, and a single 56 foot diameter by 9 foot wide wheel was installed. The wheel was, at 56 feet in diameter, the second largest in England, and only exceeded in Britain by the wheel at Laxey in the Isle of Man, and that at Diggle mill in Greater Manchester.
In 1878 the mill was converted to a bleachworks and in the 20th century saw a range of uses, mainly textile based.
A fire in November 1999 destroyed the roof and remaining floors of the original mill building which has subsequently remained a derelict shell.
