Explore The Historical Compstall Mill
Compstall Mill, built in the 1820s by George Andrew, transformed Stockport’s rural landscape into a thriving mill village. Housing 800 workers, the mill harnessed the River Etherow’s power with the massive “Big Lily” water wheel, the largest in England in 1839. It drove cotton spinning and weaving until its closure in 1966.
Despite fires and dereliction, its historic structures stand as a testament to Stockport’s industrial past.

The History of Etherow Country Park
Compstall Mill, built by George Andrew in the 1820s, shaped the heart of what is now Etherow Country Park in Stockport. Powered by the River Etherow and its massive “Big Lily” water wheel, the mill drove cotton production and housed 800 workers in a bustling village.
After its closure in 1966, the mill’s pond and surrounding land transformed into one of England’s first country parks in 1968, now a haven for wildlife and walkers.
