Cressbrook
Richard Arkwright put Cressbrook on the map when he built a cotton mill on the banks of the Wye in the 1780s - a very different venture from the distillery which at that time processed peppermint, lavender and other aromatic herbs. The spot called Bury me Wick, rich in wild flowers, is far too pretty for its name to cause any concern (even though ‘wick’ is an old Peakland word for ‘alive’!).
