Stockport is a large town in Greater Manchester, England, 7 miles (11 km) south-east of Manchester city centre, where the rivers Goyt and Tame merge to create the River Mersey. It is the largest town in the metropolitan borough of the same name.
Most of the town is within the boundaries of the historic county of Cheshire, with the area north of the Mersey in the historic county of Lancashire. Stockport in the 16th century was a small town entirely on the south bank of the Mersey, known for the cultivation of hemp and manufacture of rope. In the 18th century, it had one of the first mechanised silk factories in the British Isles. Stockport's predominant industries of the 19th century were the cotton and allied industries. It was also at the centre of the country's hatting industry, which by 1884 was exporting more than six million hats a year; the last hat works in Stockport closed in 1997.
Dominating the western approaches to the town is Stockport Viaduct. Built in 1840, its 27 brick arches carry the mainline railways from Manchester to Birmingham and London over the River Mersey.
Stockport is a borough situated South-East of Manchester city centre consisting of Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Marple, Bredbury, Reddish, Woodley and Romiley. The borough was made famous in the 19th Century as the home of the nation’s hatting industry, which history is celebrated in the Hat Works, the UK’s only dedicated hatting museum.
Stockport’s architecture is enriched with history. The borough is home to over 380 listed buildings, 6 ancient monuments and one of the most iconic viaducts in the UK, and offers visitors opportunity to visit several medieval and Tudor halls, notably Peel Hall in Heaton Moor and Bramall Hall in Bramall. The Plaza, the UK’s only remaining super cinema and variety theatre, stands out in its Art Deco stylings, and Stockport Viaduct is a predominant landmark of Stockport and has been featured in many LS Lowry paintings.
Culturally, Stockport has a brilliant range of spots to visit, from Staircase House, that’ll take you on a trip through the 14th to the 20th century, to Stockport’s Air Raid Shelters, originally opened in 1939, and built to provide shelter for up to 3,850 people.
In addition to city centre treasures, Stockport has many beautiful walks and gorgeous scenery, with 14 nature reserves to choose from including one of England’s first country parks, the 32 acre Etherow Country Park, alongside other notable reserves including Abney Hall Park, Mersey Vale Nature Park and Reddish Vale Country Park.
When it comes to shopping, Stockport town has plenty to offer, from the high street stores of Merseyway Shopping Centre and The Peel Hall centre, to the independent wares of the Stockport Market Place, which offers over 50 business selling everything from beer to buttons and the Cheadle Makers Market, which brings together finest food, drink, art and craft producers in the area. Speaking of food and drink, Stockport has plenty of offerings for all tastes, including the unique, menu-less Where The Light Gets In, plus opportunity to visit the historic Robinsons Brewery for a tour and beer tastings.
Stockport has fantastic transport links to the Manchester City Centre meaning a day out in this historic borough is a perfect location to visit.
Warrington (/ˈwɒrɪŋtən/) is a large town, borough and unitary authority in Cheshire, England, on the banks of the River Mersey. It is 20 miles (32 km) east of Liverpool, and 16 miles (26 km) west of Manchester. The population in 2019 was estimated at 165,456 for the town's urban area, and just over 210,014 for the entire borough,[2] the latter being more than double that of 1968 when it became a new town. Warrington is the largest town in the ceremonial county of Cheshire.
Warrington was founded by the Romans at an important crossing place on the River Mersey. A new settlement was established by the Saxon Wærings.[3] By the Middle Ages, Warrington had emerged as a market town at the lowest bridging point of the river. A local tradition of textile and tool production dates from this time.[4]
The town of Warrington (north of the Mersey) is within the boundaries of the historic county of Lancashire and the expansion and urbanisation of Warrington coincided with the Industrial Revolution, particularly after the Mersey was made navigable in the 18th century. The West Coast Main Line runs north to south through the town, and the Liverpool to Manchester railway (the Cheshire Lines route) west to east. The Manchester Ship Canal cuts through the south of the borough (west to east). The M6, M56 and M62 motorways form a partial box around the town and are all accessible through Warrington.
The modern Borough of Warrington was formed in 1974 with the amalgamation of the former County Borough of Warrington, part of the Golborne Urban District, the Lymm Urban District, part of the Runcorn Rural District, the Warrington Rural District and part of the Whiston Rural District.
