Abstract

Following proposals to upgrade the visitor experience at Quarry Bank Mill, Styal, Cheshire (centred on SJ 836 829), the National Trust commissioned OA North to undertake a programme of research and building and topographic survey at the mill. Quarry Bank Mill is afforded statutory designation as a Grade II* listed building, reflecting the immense importance of the site as one of the best preserved former textile-manufacturing complexes in the country. The survey was undertaken in accordance with a project design by OA North, which was itself informed by a project brief by the National Trust. The project entailed the implementation of a desk-based study, and a detailed fabric survey by means of laser scanning, photogrammetry and instrument survey. The survey was followed by a process of description and analysis and culminated with the production of the present report. The survey was undertaken between May and December 2013.
