Crompton Road Dyeworks

The last dyeworks to operate in Macclesfield was the Crompton Road Dyeworks of M. Massie & Sons Ltd. The chimney was built in 1947 and was the last proper brick factory chimney in use in Macclesfield. The works has now been demolished internally and will be redeveloped as flats. The chimney will be demolished in due course, or when they have worked out how to do it without wrecking the surrounding buildings.

It's a majestic bit of history, it would be nice if they could find some way to keep it.
