19th Century Mill to be sold to Cheshire East Council

A 19th Century mill in Macclesfield will be sold to Cheshire East Council for an unknown sum.

Cheshire East Council hopes to expand Paradise Mill in the town centre’s role as an attraction to build on the town’s heritage.

Tours still run in part of the building with the rest marketed as office space.

Leader Michael Jonestold the BBC: “We’re very close to announcing that we’ve purchased that building.

“That allows us to retain and secure those looms, and that gives us a base for the future heritage of silk there.”
