Hi all, I moved to Stockport about 1.5 years ago. I'm trying to learn about the area past and present, and I'm also an animal lover. I've heard that horses were once often seen on the loose in Brinnington. Is there a full story behind that? Anyone who might know it?

I see the occasional horse and carriage passing through my area. Sometimes it's travellers and sometimes it's a funeral carriage heading to or from Stockport Cemetery.

And, bonus... Do you know any other animal curiousities in Stockport? I heard recently about a runaway deer in Cale Green Park. And I'm an avid spotter of the local parakeets...

Being from reddish literally nothing good goes through or I miss it all, which means I will then have to travel a good mile and a half to the main station near the life leisure, (basically my point is if anyone has made an average time for freight passing reddish south let me know!)

Please let me know your suggestions for establishments in the centre of Stockport (or thereabouts)

Hi everyone! Delete if not allowed but I am raising money for kids in foster care to have presents and a Christmas party this year. Every child deserves the joy of opening a gift on Christmas and creating cherished holiday memories, no matter their circumstances. If you’d like to join me in making this season special for these kids, please consider donating.

We've had a call about an hour ago, our cat has been ran over and killed on llanfair road edgeley.

Someone has taken him to the vets after finding him, however this woman was, thank you for not leaving him there.

If anybody has any information on what happened please let me know. Myself and my partner need some closure.

In the process of purchasing a house (first time buyer) and I'm now looking at solicitor options. Just wondered if anyone can share any recommendations/experience/advice for local solicitors?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of any decent organised bonfires in/around Stockport? Are there any these days that aren't plagued by the health and safety goblins who make you stand 200ft away?!!

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Much appreciated. Gonna try Brabyns as it sounds like a proper melt your face off bonfire!

Come see us at hallam Mill just off the A6 on Halloween for a free trial at our academy and a fun and spooky night of kickboxing for all ages ! Feel free to dress up 😜🎃

Send us a message for more information

Is there such a thing?

Growing up in stocky, only just realised it might be

As it says really, I've used Noor cash and carry in Heald green for years, but it's a bit out of the way from the Heatons. Looking for somewhere (ideally Cheadle way) to pick up spices, Dal, and other things general supermarkets won't stock. I've tried "Cheadle Supermarket" on councillor Ln but I've found it severely lacking. Anyone got any gems?

My car needs a service and a wheel bearing doing and I'd like to supply the parts, but most garages don't like that... Can anyone suggest a friendly garage that are flexible like that? I usually use Mercian motors for MoTs and little things, or John Delaney's if I'm in a bit of a fix but they're quite expensive on labour.

Hey, I’ve recently moved to Edgeley and looking for a boiler engineer. Anyone got any recommendations?

Wondering if there are any recommendations for school holiday clubs that would be suitable for a 4-5 year old for next year. Looking for full days till 17:30 and close to Heavily. Thanks.

From Stockport Heritage Library - TIA!

figured I should ask so why not

The title pretty explanatory just lemme know if you know any places or you fit the things listed thanks in advance (btw I’m 15m)

We finally found the cat at 11 o clock tonight.

Not sure at all if this is the right place to post this, but I'm a good rock / pop vocalist who can play intermediate guitar and I'm keen to join a band. DM or reply and let me know if that;s a thing for you!

Hello you lovely lot!

Looking for new crafty pals, something cosy to do when it’s inevitably raining outside, or even just a new place to try? Well we’re the Crafty Social Club and we’d love you to join us!

Hello. Would appreciate any recommendations for Stockport-based Indian places that deliver; it's always a bit pot luck when I pick one on Deliveroo. I fancy a bhuna. Cheers.

Discuss… Is Cheadle train station really going to get built?

I keep hearing it should be completed by end of 2025 but doesn’t sound like there’s anything concrete.

I am looking at potentially moving to the area but obviously having a train station will be a huge plus - so would be good to get thoughts of people from the area!

I had a question on park and ride at Cheadle hulme (apparently this exists?)

Is it easy to get spaces there during weekdays (eg to commute into Manchester)?

Worth it for a good cause. Just have to drive around the roadworks to get in.

On 10:00-16:00

Hi everyone. Wanted to get opinions on Romiley as a place to live. Is it safe / have anything there? Do we think buying a property there is a safe bet (ie would property sell ok there potentially down the line?)

Lots of things to consider. I’m also looking at the Heatons & Cheadle.

Anyone else see the Northern Lights tonight?
