点评:We had an excellent visit to Paradise Mill and the Silk Museum in Macclesfield. From start to finish, the staff were warm, welcoming, and very helpful. There’s a small on-site café which was a nice place to relax before the tour began.
The guided tour of Paradise Mill was outstanding. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the history of the mill and its workers to life. Watching the original Jacquard looms in action was a real highlight. The preserved interiors – including the supervisor’s office and workers’ tea room – gave a powerful sense of what life was like in a working 1930s silk mill.
We also visited the Silk Museum next door, which is full of fascinating exhibits, including beautiful silk textiles, pattern books, and historic machinery. It really helped paint a full picture of Macclesfield’s important role in the silk industry.
Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in history, industry, or traditional craftsmanship. A very worthwhile day out.

天堂磨坊的导览游非常精彩。我们的导游知识渊博,充满热情,生动地讲述了磨坊及其工人们的历史。观看原始提花织机的运转更是一大亮点。保存完好的室内装饰——包括主管办公室和工人茶室——让人深刻地感受到20世纪30年代丝绸厂的运作。
我们还参观了隔壁的丝绸博物馆,里面充满了引人入胜的展品,包括精美的丝绸纺织品、图样册和历史悠久的机械设备。这帮助我们全面了解了麦克尔斯菲尔德在丝绸行业中的重要作用。
强烈推荐给所有对历史、工业或传统工艺感兴趣的人。非常值得的一天。
