It could be that Stockport has always been a place where unusual things have happened.

• A cookery book written before Mrs. Beaton's time,
• the building of the largest brick structure in the world
• and the production of exquisite silk hats sold to London gentry (still displayed with felt examples too at our famous Hat Works Museum).

Then there's the taste of Robinson's beer, brewed here since 1865, a maze of WW11 underground tunnels, a Jacobean staircase with a resident ghost and quaint streets painted by L.S Lowry himself.

Whatever your reason for visiting us, Stockport will not disappoint.
