A guide to the shops, business, area & history

Edgeley Stockport

Edgeley, part of Stockport's Borough since 1831, is a mainly residential village lying half a mile south west from Stockport's centre. It's situated about seven miles south east from Manchester's city centre.

Edgeley mostly comprises of Victorian era built terraced houses, with some larger and grander properties focused around the Alexandra Park area. In the late nineteenth century Alexandra Park was Edgeley House, home of the Syke's family who owned Edgeley's large Bleachworks. The Sykes initially owned most of the land in Edgeley, and due to the Bleachworks, employed many locals. They invested a great deal of wealth back into the area, including the parks, churches, schools and even Edgeley Park, the home of Stockport County & Sale Sharks, for which Edgeley is most famous for today.

Edgeley is one of Stockport's largest areas of shops, and one with the largest concentrations of family owned retailers. The shopping centre offers a diverse range of shops and business for all the family, with good prices and friendly service. The area is well served with many parking spaces and areas, most of which are free on non-match days.
