p. 260. “A Victorian Italianate house, with a balustraded roof parapet and an impressive iron and glass conservatory standing on a basement. The home of the Martin family, who owned the cotton and subsequently flax-spinning mill at Shrigley, where they built a village and created one of those small, flourishing, paternalistic Victorian industrial communities; the people showed their gratitude to John Martin 1871 by erecting a stupendous High Victorian clock-tower and drinking-fountain in his honour in the centre of the village outside the mill gate; it was swept away between 1968  and 1972, in favour of a new housing-estate on the opposite hillside; the monument now stands isolated and derelict.”
