This week’s picture shows a children’s fancy dress parade, fundraising for Macclesfield Infirmary in the 1900s and a rush-bearing ceremony at Macclesfield forest.

Our nostalgia column brings you fascinating pictures taken in Macclesfield in days gone by.

We have teamed up with Macclesfield Library and Cheshire Archives and Local Studies to share more old photographs from the archives and will be featuring images each week.

Rush-Bearing at Macclesfield Forest Chapel at the 1960s.

We would love to hear your memories relating to any of the pictures we share over our pages.
