#OnThisDay in 1874, Marianne and Mary's boat was hauled up the rapids of the Great Bab. The crew, helped by 300 local men, spent four days pulling the boat past the First Cataract of the Nile. This was the most dangerous stretch of the river that Marianne and Mary encountered.
🌟Join us on Saturday 20th for a FREE lantern making workshop before the Macclesfield Lantern Parade! The parade will set off from the Silk Museum near Park Green at 17.00. #Macclesfield #Macclesfieldmums #totallylocallymacclesfield #whatsonmacclesfield #whatsoncheshire
Merry Christmas from everyone at the Silk Museum! Whether you had a cup of tea in the cafe, made a purchase in the shop, or came to see our exhibits thank you for your support in helping us care for and share Macclesfield’s silk heritage. See you all next year!
Travelling down the Nile 150 years ago was not without its perils. Marianne Brocklehurst and Mary Booth were blown into a corner of the river and stuck there for three days, finally escaping #OnThisDay in 1873.
