Trouble At T'Mill
A new drama, The Mill, airs on Channel 4 on Sunday 28 July. It's based on the true-life stories of Esther Price and Lucy Garner, two parish apprentices who lived and worked at Quarry Bank Mill, Cheshire. The drama was filmed at Quarry Bank Mill, which was owned by the Greg family. The Gregs built a school for their child workers. There's more info on the drama and clips here. I for one can't wait to see it!
