A Brief History of New Mills
Little is known about north-west Derbyshire before the Domesday Book of 1086, when the New Mills district was on the southern edge of the king's estate known as Longdendale. The Domesday Book records that a thane called Ligulf had formerly held land in 'Tornesete" (Thornsett), the earliest record of a local place name.
The Three Trowels 1870 & 1884
Three silver trowels on display at the Town Hall were used and engraved to mark important moments in the history of New Mills
Town Hall - 1871
The idea of building a public hall by subscription was first suggested in 1859, when the Mechanics' Institute needed more space, but it was twelve years before enough money was raised to buy the land and start work.
