Bridge 26A across the Macclesfield Canal is seen here against the imposing architecture of the Clarence Mill. The first mill by Clarence Road dated from between 1834 and 1838. It was extended along the canal to the north-west in 1841, and again to its final length in 1857. In 1877 the original mill was demolished and rebuilt, higher and more than double the width, and forming two current two section configuration. (Source https://happyvalley.org.uk/?page_id=3946 ) It is now converted for use by many small businesses and enterprises.
