Paradise Mill is an award-winning museum with 26 jacquard hand looms.
The mill has been restored to give an idea of working conditions during the 1930s when the mill prospered, including a design room and manager's office.
Paradise' is Macclesfield's most popular attraction! The tie silk made on it's Jacquard hand looms was some of the finest ever made in Macclesfield - with up to 500 'ends' or threads per inch. Although built c. 1860, the mill was operated by Cartwright and Sheldon silk weavers from 1912 until 1981, and it is within this time period, 1930 to be exact, that the exhibitions and room settings have been set to illustrate life in Paradise Mill.
