Quarry Bank Mill is run by the National Trust and an amazing place to visit, especially if you're interested in social and economic history. There is working machinery and just up the lane the apprentice house which housed orphans who worked in the cotton mill. Give yourselves plenty of time in order to spend an unhurried day exploring the mill, the apprentice house, Styal village and its churches.
Here is a link to the property:
