The Quarry Bank Project at Quarry Bank

As part of the Quarry Bank Project, we’re transforming your experience of the mill. We’re installing a passenger lift, which will mean that for the first time the whole mill will be accessible to everyone. To allow this work to take place the mill is closed from Monday 20 November 2017, with a full re-opening in summer 2018. The rest of Quarry Bank will remain open throughout the closure of the mill, with lots of new experiences and exciting things for you and your family to get involved in. The mill shop will be closed for refurbishment until the middle of February 2018. The garden remains open.

The restoration of Quarry Bank House and the worker's cottage is underway. Follow our progress and see behind the scenes and discover what it takes to conserve and restore historic buildings.

The first part of the Quarry Bank Project has been realised with the restoration of the upper garden and rare glasshouse. We hope that you enjoy the garden.

We hold a staggering 100 linear metres of business papers, the private papers of five generations of the Greg family, and records for almost every man, woman and child worker who ever worked here. Thanks to the project the team is working to catalogue, transcribe and digitise this information and the stories will be used to inform everything that you see and hear at Quarry Bank.

We want you to have a fantastic time every time you visit and that’s why we are always coming up with new exhibitions and events which bring the story of Quarry Bank to life and create a great day out for you.

Quarry Bank would not be able to open without the support of its dedicated volunteers. Find out how you can get involved.

During the lifetime of the project the team at Quarry Bank have learnt a lot. One of the main aims now is to share this knowledge, best practice and top tips with you and other heritage organisations.
