Quarry Bank Mill is one of Britain's greatest industrial heritage sites which shows how a complete industrial community lived.
A recent Channel 4 TV series entitled 'The Mill' was inspired by the Gregs and Quarry Bank.
The estate, Quarry Bank House and the Mill are now National Trust properties and open to the public.
