The pond was reduced by nearly half to increase the development area for the houses. Bollington&#8217;s brewery, <a href=\"https:\/\/happyvalley.org.uk\/?page_id=4026\">Heaver Brothers<\/a>, was located here in the older of the mills; it burnt down in 1931. In the mid 1920s a company called <a href=\"https:\/\/happyvalley.org.uk\/?page_id=4024\">Radions<\/a> had part of the mill for repairing radio valves. Latterly Shrigley Dyers, &#8216;We Live to Dye!&#8217;, used the remaining premises until about 2000.<\/p>\n<p>A fuller history of <a href=\"https:\/\/happyvalley.org.uk\/?page_id=4026\">brewing at Higher Mills<\/a> is available, also more on <a href=\"https:\/\/happyvalley.org.uk\/?page_id=4024\">Radions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"width: 80%; background-color: #f5f3b5;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>The original late 18th century three storey block stood at the bottom of Lord Street, Bollington, on a roughly north-south axis, with the mill pool to the east.

A taller and wider block, 12 yards wide, 30 yards long (10 bays), with four storeys was added close to the south end of the original buildings, extending westwards at a right angle to them, in the 1830s.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Extract from George Longden&#8217;s Historical Study for the <a href=\"http:\/\/kriv-volunteers.blogspot.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KRIV project<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5850\" src=\"https:\/\/happyvalley.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/external.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An early 2000s development of a five story block of apartments (Dyers Court) together with a curved terrace of three story houses built by Linden Homes on the site of Higher Mills.
