Description
Since the start of the 20th century Stockport moved away from being a town dependent on cotton and its allied industries to one with many industries and stories. Today, it makes the most of its varied heritage attractions, including a national museum of hatting, a unique system of underground WWII air raid tunnel shelters in the town centre, and a late medieval merchants' house on the 700-year-old Market Place. Local historian Roy Westall has used 180 black and white photographs and maps to produce an intriguing and attractive history of Stockport.
