Title
Turvin Mill, Cragg Vale - RAC00111
Description
Turvin Mill was built in 1808. By 1833 it had a 10 HP water wheel and employed 57 workers (of which 31 were children). The water in the brook was supplemented by a catchwater drain half a mile long which collected the overflow from Whiteholm reservoir (Rochdale Canal Co.) as well as water from the moor. There is still a small reservoir opposite the bus turning bay. The mill was captioned 'Woollen' on the 1850 six-inch map. (Walsh).
