From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kettleshulme (Old Norse Ketil’s island or Ketil’s watermeadow) is a village and civil parish in Cheshire, England. The village is close to the border with Derbyshire, on the B5470 road from Whaley Bridge to Macclesfield in the valley of the Todd Brook, a tributary of the River Goyt. In 2001 it had a population of 353.
Kettleshulme was once a centre for the manufacture of candle-wick material but this ceased in 1937. The old abandoned mill (Lumbhole Mill 1797, rebuilt 1823) still exists but is not in use. It is a Grade II* listed building, described by English Heritage as “the last example of a mill where water-powered and steam machinery were used together and survive intact”. Kettleshulme was the home of 19th-century record-breaker Amos Broadhurst, whose beard grew to a length of seven feet.
