Описание: Lovely scenery at Slittens Gorge in Lymm, Cheshire. This is literally just on my road and it's a hidden gem. It's a natural beauty spot, which once played a crucial role in nail and steel production and transportation built during the late 17th century. Lymm Slitten Mill was in full operation in 1751. Original purpose was nail production, later giving way to the cutting of steel bands for the cooperage at Thelwall. Nail making was largely a cottage industry and would have largely been a part time occupation alongside agriculture. Considered to be one of the most important industries in Warrington and other local economies such as Wigan, Leigh and Atherton, nails were expensive to produce as they were entirely made by hand. Metal was taken from Lymm by boat along the Mersey to Thelwall. Prior to the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894, Slitten Brook which was much deeper than it is today, flowed into the river Mersey half a mile north of the mill.
