HistoryThe need for the construction of barracks followed the raising of the 2nd Royal Cheshire Militia, recruiting in the eastern part of the county (the existing 1st Cheshire Militia was based at Chester). In October 1857 the Cheshire Quarter sessions passed a resolution that "...barracks for the 2nd Regiment of Cheshire Militia be erected in some part of the eastern division of the county."[1] Initially, Stockport was favoured, but a decision to purchase land in Macclesfield was made in January 1858, against the objections of the Mayor and Corporation of the town.[2] The 4th Battalion (2nd Royal Cheshire Regiment of Militia), The Cheshire Regiment was disbanded in 1908[3] and building was decommissioned and converted for residential use in the 1980s.[4] References1. ^{{cite news|title=The Cheshire Quarter Sessions at Knutsford|newspaper=Cheshire Observer|date=24 October 1857|page=3}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Cheshire Quarter Sessions|newspaper=Cheshire Observer|date=9 January 1858|page=4}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/022Ches.htm |title=The Cheshire Regiment |publisher=regiments.org |accessdate=11 July 2016 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061231053245/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/022Ches.htm |archivedate=31 December 2006 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101206908-armoury-towers-the-barracks-macclesfield#.WRiuWmjysdU|title=Armoury Towers, the Barracks|publisher=British Listed Buildings|accessdate=14 May 2017}} Further reading
