Founded in 1790, the cotton mills and village of Stanley were developed on model lines. The three mills, Bell Mill (completed 1790), East Mill (c.1840) and Mid Mill (c.1850), form a U-plan and were originally powered by seven water wheels, drawing water from the River Tay along a tunnel some 244m in length.
Production at the mills ceased in 1976. The mill buildings are still standing and have been redeveloped as private housing and a visitors' centre.
