Troubled Times: Macclesfield 1790–1870

For much of the 19th century Macclesfield was dependent on its silk industry, which experienced sharp fluctuations between boom and bust. This history tells how the expansion of the sector in the early 1820s evaporated when the government lifted duties on imported silk, throwing once prosperous workers into poverty and giving rise to strikes and political agitation.
