A Mixed Harvest: Stories of New Mills by Maurice Hope A Mixed Harvest: Stories of New Mills is a fresh look at the history of this Peak District town, perched atop The Torrs above the gorge of the River Sett. By turning his focus on the people of New Mills and the stories of their lives, Maurice Hope deftly draws pictures of a changing town: recreating the atmosphere of the Industrial Revolution, the two World Wars and the modern technological revolution through details of everyday life gleaned from books, newspapers, parish records, advertisements and other published sources.
