The Proper Sound courtyard

A small space with a big musical connection.

Home to the Ian Curtis mural, the courtyard is part of Proper Sound and Macclesfield’s wider music story.

The Ian Curtis mural

A quiet part of Proper Sound’s story.

The courtyard is home to the Ian Curtis mural and is visited by Joy Division fans, music lovers and people exploring Macclesfield’s cultural history.

It sits just behind Proper Sound and forms part of the official Manchester Music Tours route through the town. Visitors are welcome to stop by, see the mural and spend a little time in the space.
