Actors, a beer festival, students heading abroad and solicitors in hats feature in this week’s Time-trip column.

Each week we will publish a set of pictures taken by our photographers which appeared in the paper in the 2000s.

The pictures appear first on our website and are then reprinted in the paper.

This week our pictures show the Poynton Players, a beer festival at The Society Rooms, Park Green, Fallibroome High School pupils leaving for Thailand, and Daniels Solicitors staff wearing hats for Wear A Hat Day, judged by the mayor. The photographs were all taken in the early 2000s.

If you have any pictures you would like us to feature in the column, please send them into us at communities@menmedia.co.uk or via the Macclesfield Express Facebook page.
