This is my home town. My Dad was born in Reddish. I went to Stockport college. My mum used to work in the COOP in the precinct. Thanks for the memories. I’m now living in Montréal Canada. Figure that one out.
Wonderful memories of my home town. Born in 1952 and lived in Shaw Rd Sth. Went to Cale Green School, followed by one year at Stockport High School.Then moved to Poole (Dorset). Had cousins at the top of Lancashire Hill. My Mum & late Dad born and raised in Portwood. Thanks for reminding me why I still love where I spent a wonderful childhood.
Very well done, and thanks for posting. Away from my home town now for forty years so brings a lot of memories back, also a tear to my eye. I don't think I could have been in a better place in the sixties, still love ya Stockport.
Thanks- many of these pictures takes me back to when I was just 17 working for a Press Agency in Princes St , covering Stockport for the Manchester Evening and daily papers as a freelance photographer, around 1961, remember covering the Stockport Air disaster near Hillgate and the filming of scenes for A Taste Of Honey in the church Yard by the old Stockport Market Hall.
Many thanks for posting this. Both my dad and granddad drove buses (and in the early days trams!) for Stockport corporation, then SELNEC, then GM buses.
Yes , they lived on Adswood road and their gate was always padlocked . Dirty Les would make money by walking in to the shops on Merseyway precinct and they would give him a couple of bob just to get him out. Fond memories of my home town.
Such a Fantastic journey through time Makes you wonder what the next Generation will think of Times Gone by ? One thing that stays constant all over the world are Markets !! Maybe it will be Car Boots that take them over In the Future ??

lovely thanks for sharing :)
I live in the flats you showed on the market, the ones that got done up by Guinness Northern Counties and used to the dungeons :)
Memories! Thanks for posting this!
How sad. I yearn for the 50s when life was less complicated. People seemed more contented
I well remember Dirty Les & his brother Albert, you could actually smell Les coming round the corner in Cale Green.
