Errwood Hall & the Drowned Hamlet of Goyt’s Bridge
I’ve finally finished work on a book on the history of Errwood Hall and Goyt’s Bridge, using some of the old postcards, personal photos and early maps I’ve discovered over the years working on this website.
Many of the cards and photos were kindly sent to me by fellow lovers of the Goyt Valley who share my enthusiasm for the area’s rich social and industrial history.
Full colour on high quality paper
The book is 210 x 210mm with 48 full-colour pages on high quality paper. It’s quite expensive to print so I’ve priced it at £12.95. Any profit will go towards the cost of hosting this website.
If all goes according to plan, I should get delivery by 18th February. Click below to view the product page.
