Stockport is a large, major town in Greater Manchester and sits 7 miles south-east of Manchester city centre. Stockport’s most famous landmark must be its Viaduct with its impressive 27 arches. The Viaduct was a Victorian masterpiece of architecture costing £70,000 to build and has been constructed with 11,000,000 bricks. This structure featured as the background in many paintings by L. S. Lowry.
Stockport does however have a second very notable landmark. The glass Stockport Pyramid sitting alongside the M60 motorway is now owned by the Co-Op bank having acquired the building in 1995.
In the 18th century, the town had one of the first mechanised silk factories in the British Isles. However, Stockport’s predominant industries of the 19th century were the cotton and associated industries. Stockport was also at the centre of the country’s hatting industry, which by 1884 was exporting more than six million hats a year. Sadly, the last hat works in Stockport closed in 1997.
Silk weaving was Stockport’s first large scale industry and expanded until 1769 where two thousand people were employed in the industry. By 1772 the boom had turned to bust, possibly due to cheaper imports. However, by the late 1770s trade had recovered.
Stockport today enjoys a diverse range of shops restaurants bars and cafes to enjoy. Maybe a visit to the towns Hatting Museum could also be on your list of things to do
