Styal (/staɪl/, like style) is a village and civil parish in Cheshire, England; it is sited on the River Bollin.

By the 1820s, the mill was expanding and, because of its rural location, Greg found the need to construct a new model village nearby to provide housing for his workers.

In 1898, the Styal Cottage Homes were opened to house destitute children from the Manchester area;[5] it closed in 1956.

[6] Quarry Bank Mill and its village still stand today; it is now owned by National Trust, who operate it as an industrial heritage museum.

The remains of the lower part were rebuilt on the lane close to Styal in 1983 and, after a fundraising campaign, a replacement stone column and cross were added to the medieval base in 2010.

The population in the 2001 Census was 5,014, including the nearby smaller village of Morley and part of the fringe of Wilmslow.

[26] The village is bisected north-south by the B5166 Styal Road, which connects Northenden, Heald Green and Wilmslow.
