Bredbury and Romiley : Otterspool Bridge
At the sale of the Bredbury estate in 1825, an area lying along the River Goyt was purchased by a Mr Marsden, who built a weir at Otterspool and planned to use water power to develop the valley from there to New Bridge as an industrial estate. However, he failed to secure the water rights. and by the time the lengthy legal proceedings were completed water power had been superseded by steam power.
Bredbury and Romiley : River Goyt
The River Goyt rises on the moors of Axe Edge, near the River Dane and the Cat and Fiddle Inn, in Derbyshire: the area is known as the Upper Goyt Valley. The old Cat and Fiddle Road from Buxton to Macclesfield crosses the river just as it turns northwards to flow down its well known valley. The river then flows under Derbyshire Bridge, which was the old boundary between Derbyshire and Cheshire. Later it reaches an old packhorse bridge which was moved when Errwood Reservoir was built in the 1960s. Further downstream there is another reservoir, Fernilee Reservoir. The original line of the Cromford and High Peak Railway can be seen near this point.
The Goyt then passes through Taxal and Horwich End where it is joined by Todd Brook. Thereafter it passes through Whaley Bridge and New Mills, where it is joined by the River Sett and passes through a deep gorge, The Torrs. After Marple Bridge, the river is joined by the River Etherow at Compstall. The Goyt joins the River Tame at Stockport, forming the River Mersey.
Romiley is located at Grid Ref: SJ9491 (Lat: 53.416843, Lng: -2.086482)
