On the 24th December 1944, the Luftwaffe targeted several V1 rockets towards Manchester but as so often the case, many of these rockets went off target. One such rocket slammed into the ground just east of Macclesfield and the crater can be still seen today. In the photograph it can be clearly seen beside the right of the two telegraph poles.
