Stockport Heritage Trust
We are fortunate enough to entertain the members of the Stockport Heritage Trust for a swift pint after work on most market days.The Stockport Heritage Trust is based in the Heritage Centre in St Marys Church, just over the road from the pub. A visit to the Centre is thoroughly recommended if you have any interest in the local history of this town. The group campaigned singlehandedly for many years for the restoration of Staircase House in the Market Place, left to rot for decades. The House is now restored & the scheme is a huge success and all credit to Steve Cliffe & his colleagues for their dogged persistence in the face of decades of bureaucratic apathy & financial neglect. The group is always organising heritage events in the town & is always eager to recruit new people who may wish to take an active role in these fun events.Visit the Stockport Heritage Trust at http://stockporttrust.blogspot.com/.
Copies of "Stockport & District Heritage", the quarterly magazine of the Trust are for sale widely &also behind the bar of the "Arden Arms", priced £2.40

The Courtyard at the "Arden Arms"
