Organised football has been played in the
High Peak for almost 125 years, and New Mills Football Club has played a
prominent part in the development of the game during that period.
The ground is situated in Church Lane, opposite
St. George's Church and is regarded as being one of the most picturesque
in the North West Counties League, in which "The Millers", have two
teams competing.
The facilities at Church Lane are quite
considerable. The area covers some three and a half acres and has
parking for 150 cars plus 8 coaches. The pitch is fully enclosed and has
a covered stand for 120 seated spectators plus 300 standing. A clubhouse
with a membership of over 200 is open 7 days a week and the room is also
available for hire with a capacity of around 90.
The ground has
floodlights with a floodlit all-weather pitch suitable for soccer,
hockey, tennis and many other sports. Once again this facility is
available to the public for hire.
New Mills Football Club also caters for the disabled with all its
facilities. More details of all these can be obtained by ringing the
club on 01663 747435
