Macclesfield
Macclesfield is a busy market town on the banks of the River Bollin in east Cheshire. Situated between Cheshire Plains and the Peak District the town is surrounded by fabulous scenery.
The town is famous for its once thriving silk industry and boasts the only Silk Museum in the UK. More recently Macclesfield has become renowned for its connections with the cult band Joy Division.
In 2011 work is due to commence on a multi-million pound scheme to redevelop the town centre. The scheme includes a new retail area (anchored by a 55,000 sq ft Debenhams store), a multiplex cinema, and a new town square with cafes and restaurants.
