National Trust Quarry Bank and its collection

National Trust Quarry Bank
Source

Quarry Bank is a place of stark contrast, where the power of the Industrial Revolution sits alongside the beauty of picturesque gardens and lush countryside. At Quarry Bank you can discover a complete industrial community and experience the very different worlds of owner and worker, who lived and worked here side by side. A great all weather attraction for all the family all year round.

    The National Trust Quarry Bank in Styal, England, offers visitors a comprehensive look into the Industrial Revolution and the cotton industry. The site features a well-preserved cotton mill, complete with working machinery that demonstrates the textile production process. Visitors appreciate the informative exhibits and knowledgeable guides who bring the history to life.

    The estate also includes the Apprentice House, where young workers lived, providing insight into the harsh living conditions of the time. The beautiful gardens and grounds surrounding the mill offer a pleasant contrast to the industrial setting, with scenic walks along the River Bollin.

    Many visitors find the experience educational and engaging, suitable for all ages. The site's accessibility is generally good, though some areas of the old mill may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Some reviewers mention that the cafeteria could be improved in terms of variety and value.

    Overall, Quarry Bank is highly regarded for its historical significance, well-maintained facilities, and the breadth of its offerings, making it a worthwhile destination for those interested in industrial heritage and social history.

    I was disappointed with the attitude of the national trust people running Quarry Bank Mill in particular the people at the entry/admission. These people were clearly rude during the easter weekend when I was taking my children to the easter egg hunt. This was not advertised correctly and in order for us to do the hunt we were told to join the national trust at a cost of over £120 plus the easter egg hunt itself!! Thanks, you ruined my children's day....
