The Macclesfield Canal - part 2

Last post went a little long, so I will keep the verbiage short and let the pictures speak this time.

 

 

Did you ever wonder where the expression, "Don't drink downstream from the herd!" comes from?

Quickly, moving on - 

A deep cut near the town of Macclesfield is buttressed against collapse. The town of Macclesfield was the heart of English silk production for many years. Although the industry is gone it is the home of a wonderful museum on silk cloth production and the history of silk the area.

 

 Happy Days on the Macclesfield.
