London Road Mill, Macclesfield
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.

London road Mill, Macclesfield - steam engine
The incomplete remains of a vertical single cylinder steam engine. This is possibly of 1840s vintage and may have been out of use since 1894. It was quite a surprise to discover yet another incomplete vertical engine. There is a further view looking upwards here -
Image Since then the engine house has been rebuilt around the remains and it now last appeared to be being used as an office.
