TheA536 road links theCheshire towns ofCongleton andMacclesfield.
Starting at the junction with theA34 in Lower Heath, Congleton, the road travels through the villages ofEaton andGawsworth before enteringMacclesfield. Once into Macclesfield, it take a right turn at the traffic lights by the Flower Potpublic house, becoming Park Lane.
Passing the Learning Zone (Macclesfield College andThe Macclesfield Academy) it travels to the end of Park Lane, veering right at aroundabout to become Park Street. After a short distance, the road turns right at the Park Greentraffic lights and runs a short distance to join the A523 Mill Lane / The Silk Road at a T junction controlled by traffic lights.
The Congleton Link Road, which was completed in 2021, continues the A536 from just south of Eaton to join theA534 Sandbach Road, bypassing Congleton to the north.[2]
Between Eaton and Gawsworth, there are three places in the space of 4 miles now signposted aslay-bys which used to be the original course of the A536 but which have been left in place as stopping areas following straightening of the road.
Closer to Gawsworth, the road used to pass immediately in front of theHarrington Arms public house and then take a right angle turn around the pub. This original route can be seen when examining Cheshire Tithe Maps.[3]
