NotesA former textile mill on the River Wye at Millers Dale, near Tideswell, in the Peak District National Park. Established in 1782, the water-powered mill became notorious during the Industrial Revolution for the harsh treatment of its parish apprentices, documented in the testimony of former apprentice Robert Blincoe. Much of the original mill was destroyed by fire in 1874 and subsequently rebuilt. The mill later ceased textile production and has since been converted to residential use.
