Dist:0.1km<br/>This huge electric pylon is one of three that overlooks the houses on Cedar Avenue in Stalybridge. With a price tag of £269,995 in July 2007 for a four bedroom house on this avenue a potential buyer would have to ask the question "Do I want a pylon in my garden"

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is a very ruinous mill that is part demolished. The mill was erected in 1851 as the 'New Mill' of the Staley Mill Co. in 1908 the original beam engine was replaced by a Yates & Thom triple expansion engine. Cotton spinning ceased in 1961 and it was put to use for a while by a bleaching and dyeing company. Colin Bowden and Ian Haynes - Stalybridge Cotton Mills (1990) have helped with identification and captioning.
