Introduction
Gibraltar House had a house and grounds lying between the River Tame to the west and Peak Forest Canal to the east. Gibraltar Mill lay to the north and there were fields and woods to the south. The house was to the east of the site. The grounds show few features except an extensive path system.
The mill was demolished in the 1960s. The house has also been demolished, though the date this occurred is not known. The site remains open, with tracks roughly corresponding to the drive of the original site.
