Macclesfield also had what is probably now incorrectly known as a lunatic asylum.

Indeed, when I was at primary school in the 1960s in what is now Tameside, if you did or said anything particularly stupid, the other kids said, "You should be in Macclesfield." or, "You'll be going to Macclesfield soon."

EDIT: Now it's a desirable residential location!
