New Mills is a town in Derbyshire, England, approximately 8 miles south-east of Stockport and 15 miles from Manchester. It lies at the confluence of the rivers Goyt and Sett, close to the border of Cheshire. The town stands above the Torrs, a 70 feet (21 m) deep gorge, cut through Woodhead Hill Sandstone of the Carboniferous period.
New Mills was first noted for coal mining, and then for cotton spinning and then bleaching and calico printing. New Mills was served by the Peak Forest Canal, three railway lines and the A6 trunk road. Redundant mills were bought up in the mid-twentieth century by a children's sweet manufacturer, Swizzels Matlow, famous for Love Hearts and Drumsticks. New Mills was a stronghold of Methodism.
New Mills is in the area formerly known as Bowden Middlecale
which was a grouping of ten hamlets. The name of New Mylne (New Mills) was given to it from a corn-mill, erected in 1391, near to the present Salem Mill on the River Sett in the hamlet of Ollersett. This was adjacent to a convenient bridge over the Sett. By the late sixteenth century the name was applied to the group of houses that grew up round it. Coal mining was the first industry of the area, with up to 40 small pits and mines exploiting the Yard Seam.
New Mills is approximately 182 miles (293 km) NNW of London and 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Stockport. It borders on Disley, in Cheshire, and Marple, in the Stockport Metropolitan Borough in Greater Manchester. The town is on the north-western edge of the Peak District, but only the eastern part of the parish is within the official boundaries of the National Park. The town includes the hamlets of Thornsett, Hague Bar, Rowarth, Brookbottom, Gowhole, and most of Birch Vale. Various parts of the town are given local names: Eaves Knoll (north-western part between Brook Bottom Road and Castle Edge Road); High Lee (northern part between Castle Edge Road and the River Sett); Hidebank (the area on the eastern side of the River Sett and north and west of the A6015); Low Leighton (the area south and east of the A6015); and Torr Top (the area around the confluence of the rivers).
New Mills Town Council hosts a free bonfire and fireworks display in High Lea Park during November, which in 2013 attracted an estimated 3,000 people. New Mills also plays host to the One World Festival every year, also in High Lea Park. The biggest event in the town's cultural calendar is New Mills Festival. Held during the last two weeks of September, it is two weeks of talks, walks, gigs, concerts, exhibitions, sport, competitions with a lantern procession and street party on the last Saturday.
New Mills sits above The Torrs, a dramatic gorge through which the Rivers Goyt and Sett flow. In a bend of the Goyt is Torr Vale Mill, a Grade II* listed building. The Torrs Millennium Walkway, overlooking the mill, was built at a cost of £525,000 (almost half from the Millennium Commission) by Derbyshire County Council's in-house engineers. The walkway spans the otherwise inaccessible cliff wall above the River Goyt. Part rises from the riverbed on stilts and part is cantilevered off the railway retaining wall. It provided the final link in the 225-mile (362 km) Midshires Way and was opened in April 2000.
Torrs Hydro is a 2.4-metre-diameter Screw turbine at the Torr Weir on the Goyt. The Reverse Archimedean Screw micro hydroelectric scheme generates 50 kW of electricity. Nicknamed Archie, it is owned by the community. The electricity is supplied to the local Co-operative supermarket, and any excess is fed back into the national grid.
New Mills is served by two railway stations: New Mills Central on the Hope Valley Line on the north bank of the River Goyt, and New Mills Newtown on the Buxton Line which runs on the south bank on the 175m contour. New Mills town centre and bus station is served by several bus services operated by High Peak and Stagecoach Manchester. The A6 road passes through Newtown, running close to the Buxton Line going north towards Stockport and Manchester and south towards Chapel-en-le-Frith and Buxton. The main street running through central New Mills is the A6015 connecting to the A6 and to Hayfield. The Peak Forest Canal was watered in 1796. It passes through Newtown, where there is a marina. It follows the 155m contour.

5.SOUNDBITE: (English) Brian Shingler, Gants water mill owner
This is Gants mill in Bruton in Somerset, we have recently put in a a hydro power unit. It''s quite a old mill, it was a doomsday mill site so there was a mill here eight hundred years ago,although the building that is behind me now was built about two hundred years ago as a silk mill so it was a very large building, employing about two hundred girls. But we are now looking for a modern use for it.

8.SOUNDBITE:(English) Keith Wheaton-Green, Environmental projects officer, South Somerset council
Well I think micro generation definitely is the future at the moment historically we have got power from large centralised power stations and as much as eleven percent of electricity can be lost through the power lines. With local generation its closer to the consumer so there is little wastage
9.Exterior Gants Mill
10.SOUNDBITE:(English) Keith Wheaton-Green, Environmental projects officer, South Somerset council
It was quite a lot of effort for us because it was a break through project no one had really done this in the same way before, we had to get the grants the extraction licences and the environment agency had not really had much experience with dealing with projects, with small projects like this. But now we have shown the way and that it can be done its going to be a lot simpler in the future, and the technology is getting a lot simpler new turbines are being introduced that are cheaper and more efficient and the environment agency understands what needs to be done so I do not think in the future it going to be as any way as difficult as it has been for us
11. Close up mill machinery
12. UPSOUND: (English) Brian Shingler, Gants water mill owner
The water comes down this red pipe which is under pressure into the blue turbine and that mechanically turns the energy of the water into power and then the belts turn the generator which is mounted above and that produces the electricity
13.Various close up mill machinery
14. SOUNDBITE:(English) Brian Shingler, Gants water mill owner
This generator produces the maximum about twelve kilo watts at any one time and it runs continuously through out the year not producing as much electricity in the summer. Over the last twelve months we have generated thirty two thousand kilo watt hours and they reckon the average household uses four thousand kilo watt hours in the year so this is the equivalent of eight houses worth of electricity over the course of the year that it produces.

Well this is the control panel that controls the turbine and automatically connects it to the national grid and if we just wait a moment off it will go, there we go.

SUGGESTED LEAD IN
A water mill, dating back to the eleventh century, is generating its own electricity using highly efficient turbines.
The mill, in Somerset in England, generates enough electricity to power up to eight houses over one year.
Gants Mill is just one of ten mills involved in micro-hydro projects contributing to the UK''s target to produce sustainable energy.
STORYLINE
The power created is fed into the local and national electricity grid.

Stockport hydro still under testing, but here you can see it running, seems fast to me. I wounder what the tip speed is.
A higher rotational speed will greatly increase the risk of a fish strike and fish kill.

Goyt River Walk
A walk beside the Goyt river, near Furness Vale and New Mills in the High Peak district of Derbyshire England. The video was taken using a new i-phone 3GS to test the new capabilities of the device. It is certainly not a great video camera and obviously has no image stabilization. Being extremely light to hold and its flat shape make serious panning and filming while walking quite difficult.
However considering that the device is primarily a phone and internet browser it really isn't that bad either. I happened to have my i-phone with me on this walk and pulled it out to take a few pics. Since it was easy to operate I decided to try taking movies with it and what you see is what I got.
The Goyt river valley is an exceedingly beautiful part of the world running through the High peak district of Derbyshire. The river has also been used from the 1700's to the early 1900's to provide water power at the Mills whose ruins are briefly shown in this video. Even now a new hydro-electric power station (Torrs Hydro) has been installed at the site of the Torrs Mill - unfortunately the water level was low and the time of my visit and insufficient to power the Archimedes screw generator.
