Macclesfield Express

Historic high street shops and traders

-

OUR nostalgia column brings you fascinatin­g pictures taken in Macclesfie­ld in days gone by.

WE have teamed up with Macclesfie­ld Library and Cheshire Archives and Local Studies to share old photograph­s from the archives and feature several images each week.

This week’s selection features a combinatio­n of pieces from shops and businesses on the high street dating from the early part of the 20th century to the middle of it; from the centre of town to the outlying areas.

Explore old books, maps and newspapers at Macclesfie­ld Library, Jordangate, SK10 1EE or visit archives.cheshire.gov.uk.

We would love to hear of your memories relating to any of the pictures that we share here.

If you have additional informatio­n on the pictures featured today, please contact staff at the Cheshire Image Bank by visiting www.cheshire imagebank.org.uk and clicking on ‘Can you help?’

You can get in touch with us by emailing macclesfie­ldexpress@ menmedia.co.uk.
