About

Central Macclesfield is the commercial and civic core of the town, centred around the Market Place. This area functions as the primary retail hub, with a mix of national chain stores and independent shops lining the main streets of Mill Street and Chestergate. The historic Market Hall continues to operate, hosting regular markets. The Town Hall, a Victorian building, anchors the civic space.

The area's history is closely tied to the silk industry, evident in the Silk Museum located within the former Macclesfield Sunday School on Roe Street. This specific heritage is a defining characteristic. The urban landscape includes pedestrianised shopping areas and public squares, with residential streets extending outwards from the central commercial zone.
