The Course of the River Mersey The river is formed from three tributaries: the River Etherow (a tributary of the River Goyt), the River Goyt and the River Tame, which flows through Greater Manchester. The river starts at the confluence of the River Tame and River Goyt in Stockport, flowing through south Manchester, between Urmston and Sale, towards Warrington. Here it widens, before narrowing, as it passes by Runcorn and Widnes. From Runcorn, the river widens into a large estuary near Ellesmere Port.

LONGMANS, GREEN & CO. '924 PREFACE Publications of the Utzio~rjityof Manckerter HREE leading contemporary authorities on the No. CLXII. early history of the cotton industry and of the Tfactory system-Robert Owen, William Radcliffe, and John Kennedy-agree in attributing considerable im- portance to the achievements of Samuel Oldknow, who first turned the new spinning inventions to full account by the production of finer cotton fabrics in successful rivalry with the East. In his delightful autobiogl-aptly, Owe11 has told us how, soon after he became an apprentice in Mr. McGuffog's shop at Stamford, Oldknow's British Mull Muslins beean4 to disvlace those of Indian manu- facture and were eagerly bought up by the nobility at half-a-guinea a yard. His subsequent account of Oldknow's beginnings as a master spinner anti of how " the handsonle and imposing mill at Mellor " proved a stumbling block to the ardent young Welshman's earliest ambitions will be found recorded in this book in Owen's inimitable style. This cotton mill. which ~assedinto the hands of the Arkwright family, has destroyed by fire in I 892, and has since that date been a picturesque and interesting ruin.

Special Cases MARCH 1979 Introduction The purpose of this Report is to make recommendations for the revision of consents for discharges within the catchment of the River Irwell, downstream to and including the River Medlock in Manchester. This revision has the sole objective of recognising the present effluent and river water quality - proposals for long term river water quality objectives are to be put forward in other Reports. The report identifies the existing situation regarding the legal status of effluent discharges from Authority and non-Authority owned installations within the catchment, details the determinand concentration limits included in existing discharge consents (where appropriate) and proposes the limits to be included in the reviewed consents. The reviewed consents will reflect the quality of efflu­ ent achievable by good operation of the existing plant based on 1977 effluent quality data but taking into account any improvements, extensions etc. that have been or are about to be carried out and any known further industrial and/or housing development in the works drainage area. The proposed limits are intended to be the 95% compliance figures rather than the 80% compliance figures inferred in existing consents and hence the new figures will obviously be higher than the old.

These rivers drain an area to the east and south of the Manchester conurbation. They rise in the West Pennine Moors and Peak District and flow into the Manchester Ship Canal. The catchment includes areas of widely diverse land use, including, urban development, agricultural land, protected flood plain and areas of outstanding natural beauty. The challenge of managing the catchment is reconciling and responding to all the demands o f the community in general, whether it be for domestic and industrial water, effluent disposal, recreation, fisheries, conservation or protection from flooding. The vision of the NRA for the Upper Mersey catchment, during the next 25 years, is to endeavour to realise the full potential of the catchment. There is a general need for improved water quality and this will be achieved through reductions in polluting loads discharged from sewerage, sewage works and industry. Improved water quality will result in enhanced habitats, achieve sustainable healthy populations of fish and other aquatic life and help to promote recreation.

Mellor Mill was constructed between 1790 and 1792 by Samuel Oldknow and was a multi-storey, brick built, cotton spinning mill. The mill suffered a disastrous fire in 1892 and the site has been derelict since. The Wellington wheel pit was place central to the mill and was fed by a mill pond immediately to the east. This survey consisted of a measured survey and a 3D laser scan of the remains which was carried out after initial clearance of accumulated deposits and vegetation. Page 3 of 35 An Archaeological Structural Survey, Mellor Mill, Stockport, Greater Manchester 1. Introduction Introduction Mellor Mill was constructed during 1790 – 92 and was considered to be the largest mill of its day. It was grand in its architecture and became the design prototype for later cotton mills.
