Salt-Silk-Macclesfield-Silk-Museum-Lion-Salt          Thursday 12th September

We visit two award winning Cheshire Museums, the Silk mill and Lion salt Works Museum, including lunch and refreshments. The Silk Mill and Paradise Mill tells the 300 year history of Macclesfield as a global centre for silk manufacturing, textiles, and design. It features a unique collection of machines as well as the largest collection of silk Jacquard handlooms in Europe. On arrival at Lion Salt Works enjoy a sandwich lunch then take a guided tour which tells the story of open pan salt making and the huge deposits of salt that lie beneath the Cheshire Pan.
