Textile Mill - Silk manufacturing. Now a glass company. The lean to with a semi-circular window over the door housed the remains of a stationary steam engine believed to be c1840s vintage. This has since been rebuilt as an office but still contains the engine parts. I really need to go and photograph Macclesfield's mills in more depth.
