An unusually people and traffic free down Mill Street, Macclesfield on a Saturday morning. The car is parked almost in front of the really good 'Cheshire Gap' delicatessen. The white glazed tiled tower beyond is a survival from the much loved and greatly missed Majestic Cinema which closed down when the owners retired and sold out to developers.

Looking remarkably rustic for somewhere so close to the town centre, this view shows one of the three pathways leading down from close to the Market Place and Town Hall down to Waters Green and the railway station in Macclesfield. Brunswick Hill is one of those attractive, if rather steep, paths found in many northern towns.
