Union Road Viaduct

More akin to a railway viaduct than a road bridge. A typical low level bridge crosses the River Goyt below the viaduct

Queens Bridge

A high level road crossing of the River Goyt. It appears like one bridge on top of another but the lower arches are just for strengthening apparently added later

Looking into the valley from the A6. The train is going to Buxton, while trains on the other side of the valley go to Sheffield.

The A6 in Furness Vale

Much of the village has spread along the A6. Normally being a busy road with significant freight traffic, it does somewhat dominate the village.

Union Road Bridge and Torr Mill chimney, New Mills

The chimney was built in 1846 to supplement water power. Now only part of the ruined shell of the mill remains along with this chimney. Climbers are practising on the bridge. The River Goyt flows under the bridge.

Church Road Bridge, New Mills

Crossing the River Goyt. It appears that it has probably had secondary reinforcing arches inserted.

Looking up the River Sett, New Mills

From near its confluence with the River Goyt. The distant bridge carries the railway. This part of New Mills is fascinating and very popular with locals out for a walk.
