Completed in 1840, Stockport Viaduct is one of the largest brick built structures in the UK, carrying the main Manchester Birmingham railway line over the River Mersey. A striking example of Victorian engineering, the viaduct stands as a defining feature of Stockport's skyline, admired for both its scale and symmetry.

One of Britain's most iconic pieces of rail infrastructure, the Viaduct has become a symbol of Stockport appearing in Lowry paintings, architectural books, and now a backdrop to modern photography, drone film, and fashion shoots.

The original Robinsons Brewery in Stockport, known as the Unicorn Brewery - was established in 1838 when William Robinson purchased the Unicorn Inn on Lower Hillgate. It wasn't purpose-built at first; the brewery gradually evolved from the pub's small-scale brewing operation.

It's now expected that the site comes available for redevelopment, mixed use. Sites like this need to be preserved, it's certainly one we'll be keeping a close eye on. An iconic building that defines Stockport's heritage.

Conceived as an extension to Stockport Town Hall in 1975 to house additional council office space proposed since 1945.

Bold Brutalist architecture featuring precast exposed-aggregate concrete cladding, rib-textured in-situ concrete link blocks, and a public piazza with an originally planned water cascade.

Completed in 1913, Pear Mill was one of the last and largest cotton spinning mills to be built in Stockport, standing as a monument to the town’s industrial heritage. Rising proudly at the edge of the River Goyt in Bredbury, the mill’s red-brick façade and iconic water tower remain a defining landmark, visible for miles across Greater Manchester.

Today, Pear Mill has been repurposed as an antiques and interiors centre, climbing wall, while also hosting independent businesses and studios. A century on, it continues to shape Stockport’s identity not as a working mill, but as a reminder of the town’s role at the heart of the world’s textile trade.
