History
New Mills was formerly known as Bowden Middle Cale.

Formerly paper and cloth were the staple industries of the district followed by iron and brass foundries, cotton mills and print-works. In recent times the town has become a rural feeder town for the conurbation of Manchester. A factory (previously manufactory) is a large industrial building where goods or products are manufactured. ...

Trivia - A popular line at Half Man Half Biscuit gigs (taken from the song "The Light At The End Of The Tunnel (Is The Light On An Oncoming Train)" is "No frills, handy for the hills, that's the way you spell New Mills!". Contrary to the 'alternative' explanations given at the band's site, this was the catchphrase used by the unsuccessful 1980s advertising campaign trying to encourage people and businesses to relocate to New Mills when it was becoming a "commuter belt" town for Manchester (similar campaigns happened in other small towns at this time, such as "What's It Called? Cumbernauld!").[citation needed]
