| Administrative / biographical background: |
George Roylance was born in 1836 and by the mid 1850s was carrying out small building jobs such as kitchen extensions and privies in Macclesfield. In time he became the town's main master builder, with a large yard and premises at Waters Green and a brickworks on the Buxton Road. During his firm's heyday, in the 1880s and 1890s, Roylance constructed many of Macclesfield's important public and private buildings - among them being the Arighi Bianchi building, the former District Bank in Jordangate, the former School of Art in Park Green, the West Park Museum and Trinity Chapel. The firm had one wholly owned subsidiary - Cheshire Builders Supplies Ltd, and a few records of this firm were found amongst the collection and are detailed at the end of the list. |
