Macclesfield silk
Sitting at the very end of the silk road, nestled in the foothills of the Pennines, Macclesfield was once the centre of the English silk weaving industry and the world’s largest producer of finished silk.
Just two miles outside of town is the village of Langley, where Adamley Textiles is located. The site is close to a water supply, the river Bollin, and thanks to this extraordinary position Adamley has been able to source water from its very own reservoir, producing printed fabric here for now over 50 years.
