The Hovis Mill in Macclesfield remains a significant feature of the town even now it has been converted to apartments. This view is taken from a small illustration at the bottom of a retirement address presented to a worker at the mill in 1943. It is somewhat idealised and I certainly don't think there was that much traffic on the canal by 1943!

The Hovis mill in Macclesfield has been converted to apartments for a number of years but still forms a significant landmark in the town. It started as a corn mill, indeed Hovis was invented in Macclesfield, but was later converted to printing paper bags for the company.
