NEW YORK: The five hundred and fifty-fifth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
A new social housing development has been named after the town’s historic mill workers. Throwsters Court, on Maydews Passage, includes 36 brand new one- and two-bedroom apartments in a former mill building.
The name of the new development honors the town’s rich silk history and was inspired by the term throwster, a person who twists silk into yarn.
The name was suggested by Macclesfield’s Civic Society to owner Peaks and Plains Housing Trust.
