BUGSWORTH,
CHINLEY and BROWNSIDE
form
a township in the ancient parish of GIossop (the three places are
united for poor rates, but separate for the repair of the highways),
in the Northern division of the county, High Peak hundred, and
Chapel-en-le-Frith union and county court district.
Bugsworth
is 9 miles south from Glossop, 3 east-south-east from
Chapel-en-le-Frith, 9 north-north-west from Buxton, 168 by road from
London, and 173 by rail, the Midland railway having a station here.
St James's church was built by subscription in 1874, at a cost of
about £1,400: it is a cruciform stone edifice with apsidal
chancel, lighted by four stained lancet windows: it presents an
undivided interior, and will seat about 300 people: the Rev.
James Eckersley, M.A., is curate in charge. The Primitive Methodists
have a chapel here, and the Independents hold a service in a public
schoolroom. Here is the terminus of the Peak Forest canal, running to
Manchester, Macclesfield, Staffordshire, Huddersfield, and Wakefield,
to which places large quantities of lime and grit stone are sent,
quarries of the same being extensively worked here; there are also
three collieries, one cotton spinning mill, and eight lime kilns; the
latter produce about 100 tons of lime per diem. The Peak Forest
Tramway also commences here, terminating at Dove Holes; it is used
for carrying mineral produce and goods in conjunction with the canal.
Chinley
is one mile and a half east from Bugsworth, and 2 north from
Chapel-en-le-Frith, with station on the Midland railway, 172 miles
from London. The Independents have a chapel here, also a Sunday
school; there are also
a paper mill, sheet wadding, and cotton wool mill, and tinfoil paper
staining works.
Brownside
is 2 miles east from Chinley, and 1½ north-from
Chapel-en-le-Frith.
Lord
Howard of Glossop is lord of the manor of Bugsworth. William Henry
Greaves Bagshaw, esq., J.P., is the principal landowner. The soil is
a dark loam; subsoil, lime and gritstone. The land is chiefly used
for grazing purposes. The area is 3,647 acres; rateable value,
£6,925; the population in 1871 was

NEW
MILLS is an ecclesiastical
parish, formed in 1844, and township, comprising the hamlets of
Beard, Ollersett, Thornsett, and Whittle. New
Mills is a large village, situated on the river Goyt, 7 miles
south-west from Glossop, 8 south-east from Stockport, 170 from London
by road and 176½ by railway, in the Northern division of the
county, hundred of High Peak, Hayfield union. The Midland railway have a station here, and the London and North Western and
Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railways have access to this
place. The original name of New Mills was Bowden Middle Cale; it
formerly comprised seven hamlets; it has been divided, three of the
hamlets being attached to Hayfield, and the remaining four now form
the township. A mill was built upon the Kinder, in the hamlet of
Ollersett, and the name New Mills was in consequence conferred on the
four hamlets. The church of St. George is situated in Beard, and is a
handsome structure in the Pointed style, and has chancel, nave and
aisles, and spire, and contains 500 free sittings. The register dates from
the
year 1831. The living is a vicarage, yearly value £300, in the
gift of the vicar of Glossop, and held by the Rev. Frederick William
Newman, M.A., of St. Peter's College, Cambridge. The vicarage was
built by subscriptions and grants. There is a National mixed school.
Here is a handsome Roman Catholic chapel, with spire; the style is
Early English; the Rev. Albert Opbroeck is the priest. The Wesleyan
Methodists, the Association Methodists, the Independents, and the
Primitive Methodists have chapels. The cattle fairs are held on May
11th and October 7th. Here are iron and brass foundries, calico
printing and bleach works, cotton spinning and cotton band
manufactories, and collieries. The Public Hall was erected by public
subscription in 1871, at a cost of over £2,000, and opened in
the same year by the Duke of Devonshire: a tower was added in 1875,
and a large clock, which chimes the hours and quarters, has been
presented to the inhabitants by Mrs. Ingham, of Watford Villa: in the
large upper room the county magistrates meet and hold petty sessions
once a month, it is used also for public entertainments: the lower
rooms are divided into class rooms, news and reading rooms, and used
by the Mechanics' Institute, of which John Mackie, esq., J.P., is
president, and Messrs. John Pollett and Thomas Pickup are
secretaries: the Savings Bank occupies a room here, which is open on
Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. A Local Board is about to be formed
for the New Mills district, which comprises the adjoining village of
Newtown, in the parish of Disley; The late James Ingham, esq, of
Watford Villa, left £500 in 1868, the interest of which is
applied to educating and clothing poor children in the township.
Bowden's charity of 30s. yearly is for bread. The principal
landowners are Lord Egerton, F. I. Turner, esq., William H. Turner,
esq., and Mrs. Cresswell. The soil is clay; subsoil, clay. The
acreage is 5,044; rateable value, £15,055; the population in
