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.

This time we have a photograph of a rush-bearing ceremony at Macclefield Forest Chapel taken in the 1960s.

Explore old books, maps and newspapers at Macclesfield Library, Jordangate, SK10 1EE, or visit archives.cheshire.gov.uk.

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

You can get in touch with us by emailing macclesfieldexpress@menmedia.co.uk.
