Pointing and repointing in New Mills
New Mills, Whaley Bridge, Chapel-en-le-Frith and Hayfield are Peak gritstone in lime — terraces above the Torrs, canal-side cottages, hill farmhouses — and lime repointing is the job across all of them. The Torrs and Whaley Bridge canal basin are damp and the lower courses show it; up on the hill it is the west wind.
New Mills and Whaley Bridge have conservation areas. About fifty minutes from Rochdale via the M67 and A6, grouped with Glossop and Marple.
The terraces on Union Road, Church Road and above the Torrs are stepped up the hill and the west gables carry the weather off Kinder; those gables and the chimneys on them are where we start. Whaley Bridge's canal-basin cottages and the older houses in Chapel-en-le-Frith's market place are lime work with a matched aggregate, and Hayfield's cottages under the hill are the same. Access on the stacked streets often means a tower from the road below, and we'll say so at the quote.
