The Workhouse:
from

(New Mills Local History Society Newsletter 08. Spring 1992).
"Since the provision of a Workhouse was therefore a requirement of the new Act a sub-committee
was immediately appointed to look into the matter of providing a workhouse centrally situated within the Union.
After several attempts a site was found eventually at Low Leighton, a meadow called Park 'with a stone pit in it
and adjoining the foot road leading to Low Leighton from New Mills', owned by the Trustees of Priestcliff School.
In November 1839 a quotation from Mr. Dennis RANGELEY of £1750 for building the Workhouse was accepted and
the Board set about obtaining a loan."
