Marina by the Hovis Mill, Macclesfield
The large basin by the former Union Mill is now occupied by leisure narrowboats rather than working narrowboats. Macclesfield Canal.
The mill, which was built circa 1830, started producing Hovis flour in 1886*, but as early as 1914* production was moved away to Manchester, so the building was used to produce the paper wrappers for the loaves, hence its other name, "Publicity Works Mill". Its condition had deteriorated badly by the late 20th century so in the 1990s it was successfully converted to apartments, half of which overlook the now busy canal.
