St Peter's church, Windmill Street, Macclesfield
Built 1848/9 on the site of an earlier wooden structure in a deprived area by benevolent private subscription from local non-residents in an attempt to improve the moral tone of the area. The style is 'Victorian Early English' and local stone from the Kerridge quarries was used in its construction. My source for this information is 'A History of Macclesfield' edited by C Stella Davies.

The War Memorial Hall is located on Windmill Street near to St Peter's Parish Church. The Inscription on the front reads:
St PETERS

Unlike the church, there is no apostrophe in the name (because the hall does not belong to St Peter).

Dwellings, Windmill Street
The location just west of St Peter's Church suggests that this is a former rectory. It is as big as the church but maybe there was a church hall or school building at the rear.

Windmill Street, Macclesfield
Originally leading up the hill to the windmill that ground copper ore for smelting in the nearby Charles Roe factory. When the business was moved elsewhere after the death of Roe the mill was converted to more normal usage: grinding corn.
The mill in the picture is one of a number of silk mills still standing in Macclesfield but all are used for different purposes. The River Bollin runs at the foot of the mill on this side and the road bridge over the London mainline is immediately at the photographer's feet.
