Lyme Green, Macclesfield, falls within the SK 11 postal district of Cheshire. The nearest notable feature is the Macclesfield Canal, a canal in east Cheshire, England. The canal was originally proposed in 1765 and finally constructed in 1824, following a decision by a committee that preferred a canal over a railway. The engineer Thomas Telford endorsed the scheme, and the canal was built using typical Telford techniques, employing cut and fill to maintain a straight course with numerous cuttings and embankments. Although Telford did not oversee the construction, it was managed by William Crosley. The canal’s presence suggests a landscape shaped by waterway engineering and offers a characteristic historic setting for the locality. The area is rural, with the canal providing a linear waterway that has influenced the local geography and character.
