Armoury Towers, Macclesfield, Grade II listed apartment building in Macclesfield, England.
Armoury Towers is a 3-story Victorian building with symmetrical design, large windows, and military architectural details across its facade. The structure maintains its original exterior appearance while serving as residential apartments today.
Built in 1857 as a barracks for the 2nd Royal Cheshire Militia, it served military purposes until closure in 1908. The building was subsequently adapted for residential use in the following decades.
The transformation from military barracks to residential spaces reflects the evolution of Macclesfield's architectural heritage and social development.
The building sits on Crompton Road in the town center and is easy to locate and access by foot. The surroundings offer good pedestrian access and the site has relatively level approaches.
The structure represents one of the few remaining examples of purpose-built Victorian military architecture in Cheshire that has been adapted for modern living.
