I am doing the Manchester Midnight 10km in June in aid of the local cancer hospice and I am busy exercising and getting myself ready, fast walking, exercise biking, aqua aerobics. What better place then for a brisk up and down walk than the beautiful former mill hamlet of Styal in Cheshire, England. I went there this afternoon and did about an hour's brisk waking in crisp Spring Cheshire air.
I consider myself very blessed to live where I do. I am within a few miles of several beautiful locations and some bustling cities too.
Styal is a hamlet/ village on the River Bollin in Cheshire, England. The history of Styal was determined by Quarry Bank Mill . The mill, village and woods are owned by The National Trust. Mill owner Samuel Greg had the village built for his workers.
It was remarkable in its day; a mill out in the countryside clean air and care for the workers at a time when nearby Manchester and Macclesfield mills had workers living and working in desperate conditions. Life was still harsh but easier than in other mills. Samuel Greg had a school, dentist and doctor for his workers and also mill cottages. Plus, there was clean air.
I love it here!

The gardens are more established now and very beautiful
Thank you for the link to Greg House.
The image conveys architectural beauty and grounds both landscaped in the lawn and some trees and natural in the furthest-back trees.
The afore-mentioned image is above the message "User submitted image Uploaded by David Lovell This photo may not represent the current condition of the site" alongside some information dated Mar 6, 1975.
Is the image the way Greg garden and house look nowadays?
Here is a link to Quarry Bank House. - The Greg House

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
The computer crashed before I commenced another component of my original comment-question.
Is the Greg house restoration complete? Might that restoration be as impressive and Victorian tradition-consistent as the garden restoration?
Yes they are fully restored to their Traditional Victorian glory
Your comment below, on Jul 8, 2017, advises us that "The old Greg house and garden are being restored and are set to open very soon."
Are the garden restorations completed?
Frank, Thank you!
This all happened because I left a comment -- inspired by reading this article by Veronica and your comments -- on your article on Eden instead of here. All is clear to me now. Thank you for the information and insights into general tree resistance, possible American chestnut tree resistance and flagging, questionable ash tree resistance.
I have only written one article on Eden, whose name is Eden. Otherwise, I am unsure about what you are looking for.
Frank and Veronica, Do you know which article I put my comment on relating to this article? I've looked, but even though I've read all of big brother's and little sister's -- ;-D -- wizzleys, I know not which one this is. I'll keep looking since I'm about halfway through re-visiting the Veronica wizzleys. Then it'll be the Frank wizzleys again.
And thank you for the answer about ash-ly and tree-ly recoveries.
Derdriu asked two questions, both in a comment on another article.She mentioned that one had arisen from your article on Styal. Is this the only article on Styal that you have written? Go to my article on Eden, where she mentioned that the question had arisen from something that I had put in one of the comment boxes.
