John Cooke, Silkman and Throwster

Bengal Tram supplied from Royal Depot Mills at Park Green, Macclesfield in 1836. Tram is a weft yarn of two or more twisted strands of silk. The purchaser, Thomas Bullock & Son were silk manufacturers in the town. 1½% discount for cash in one month. It was actually settled in just over two months.

The mill was demolished to make way for the architectural wonder that is the NatWest Bank and County Court in a building called Silk House.
