Site Event/Activity record ECH6718 - Ingersley Vale Mill, Bollington, Cheshire: Archaeological Building Investigation and Condition Report

Following on from earlier mitigation work, a building condition survey was produced in 2019 for Ingersley Vale Mill, Bollington, in support of its proposed re-development, including demolition of several buildings surrounding the central spinning mill and waterwheel house, each of which are scheduled for renovation. Earlier work has included a desk-based assessment, level 1 building survey (ECH 4816), a watching brief and a level 2 building survey for the spinning block and wheelhouse. The condition survey was aimed to assess how the buildings have changed since the original level 1 survey of 2010/11. Photographs and plans were compared between the two survey dates to enable an understanding of the level of deterioration. This established that there had been considerable changes to the site with many buildings demolished, and the remaining structures in a generally poor condition. (1)
