The Location - Gorsey Bank is a delightful hamlet of character homes located just on the outskirts of Wirksworth. Many of the homes were built for the employees of Providence Mill, once a hive of industry, where narrow red tape to bind legal documents was produced. Much like the Puzzle Gardens of Wirksworth, Gorsey Bank has a web of paths and walkways leading in and around this historic site.
