High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Quarry Bank Mill factory in Cheshire, England, one of the best preserved of the Industrial Revolution and is now a museum of the cotton industry. It is a Grade II* listed building. The mill was founded by Samuel Greg in 1784 in the village of Styal on the River Bollin. Its original iron water wheel was designed by Thomas Hewes and built between 1816 and 1820. The Hewes wheel finally broke in 1904. After that the River Bollin continued to power the mill, through two water turbines. Today the Mill is home to the most powerful working waterwheel in Europe, an iron water wheel which was originally at Glasshouses Mill at Patley Bridge.
