Stockport

Situated close to the M60 motorway and A6 Stockport lies approximately 7 miles to the south east of Manchester and is part of the Manchester Metropolitan County with the Peak District National Park within easy reach. Being



located on the River Mersey the town’s past history shows that it not only had a cotton-spinning industry but was a market town as well. Also, the importance of the railway centre is still evident by the railway viaduct built to carry the main line between London, Birmingham and Manchester which can be seen towering proudly over the town.
Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council has recently introduced changes which they say will be to the benefit of the people they serve making the most of Stockport’s proximity to Manchester and the North West as a whole.
