Cheshire. White Nancy. Towers and Mills

This week we are back on the Tower trail We are in Bollington Cheshire near Macclesfield. We go to visit a local English landmark called White Nancy . White Nancy is a folly built around 1815 to Celebrate the battle of Waterloo. It was built by a local family called the Gaskell Family. On the way we visit a cotton spinning mill. Ingersley mill. A former water powered mill re built in 1821. We look at the river Dean and the mill race and Goyt that was built along with a weir to power the water mill. After white Nancy we discover an old Tram road inclined tramway then on to Claytons tower. Is this tower a chimney a folly or an air shaft for a mine. Lots of walking in Cheshire as we go on a historical wal of Cheshire and look at some of Cheshire’s history.
