Here's a pretty tiled entrance sign in Stockport's lovely old market place. I believe Wild was a shoe shop - the building is now part of the excellent
Stockport Story museum. It's in an interesting part of town: the beautiful Victorian covered market has a great
vintage fair once a month. The atmospheric
Staircase House museum is next door. And once you've done all that you can treat yourself to a fantastic Art Deco afternoon tea in the
Plaza. All this just seven miles out of Manchester. If you're coming from that direction, why not treat yourself to a trip on the fabled 192 bus route too?
