Hi there

you may remember we did an exhibition and event about windmill square and the St peters area of macclesfield.
It went off a storm but since then a family bereavement has intervened so I'm just now letting you know that our webmaster, Julie, did indeed put all the display materials as well as pictures of the event in progress on the website. There are also videos - be patient waiting for them to download! and do spread the news to anyone else you know who may be interested.

It's all at www.stpetersmacc.org - follow the 'word on the street' link

best wishes

terry

Hi there Windmill street people!

We had a great time at the weekend - the afternoon exhibition was packed (it's only a small church) mainly with locals - many of whom were spotting their family members in the photos - some were ex bellringers who Danny reintroduced to the belfry. Some had re-unions with people who lived only a few streets away but who they hadn't seen for years! We also had  a really good evening with songs, videos and written recollections - along with Spearings pies - a local delicacy provided for us at a cutprice rate by Marshall Spearings down at Park Green.

During this week Julie, our webmaster, will attempt to put up all the exhibition panels, text and pictures, and also the videos we made - give her a few days!

Thanks for all your messages - the ones received before the weekend were printed out and included in the exhibition

With best wishes

Terry Gibson

Hi

We've just come across this string as we're preparing for a local history event 'word on the street' organised by St Peters Church Windmill street Macclesfield - 7th November 2009. We're getting together oral memories, pictures and memorabilia from the Windmill Street and Black Road area. You can read about it here:-

http://www.stpetersmacc.org/wordonthestreet.html

We've found some interesting stuff from local people already - for example another picture of the lamp-post in the middle of the street. If anyone reading this is able to contribute any memories or pictures please do!

Also - if you're in the area . . .. come along!

Best wishes

terry
