The Langley area
Langley is a picturesque village, located about 3 miles from Macclesfield and close to the Macclesfield Forest. You will find some pictures of the Forest and the Macclesfield area in this album.
Macclesfield itself is a busy town (population c. 50,000), part of the county of Cheshire and located in the North West of England. Macclesfield lies on the River Bollin and is about 15 miles south of Manchester and 200 miles north of London. It is also close to the scenic Peak District.
The town has good access to the motorway network (M6, M56 and M60). From the 18th century onwards, the town became synonymous with the silk industry and working mills still exist. Also Hovis bread (from the Latin “HOminiS VItae” – the strength of man) has its origin here.
