Some interesting info about Stockport. Stockport
is a large town in Greater Manchester, England. It lies on
elevated ground on the River Mersey at the confluence of the
rivers Goyt and Tame, 6.1 miles (9.8 km) southeast of the
city of Manchester. Stockport is the largest settlement of
the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, and has a population
of 136,082, the wider borough having 281,000.
Historically a part of Cheshire, Stockport in the 16th
century was a small town entirely on the southbank of the
Mersey, and known for the cultivation of hemp and rope
manufacture and in the 18th century the town had one of the
first mechanised silk factories in the United Kingdom.
However, Stockport's predominant industries of the 19th
century were the cotton and allied industries. Stockport was
also at the centre of the country's hatting industry which
by 1884 was exporting more than six million hats a year. In
December 1997 the last Stockport hat works closed. The
town's hatting heritage is preserved at 'Hat Works – the
Museum of Hatting'.
Dominating the western approaches to the town is the
Stockport Viaduct. Built in 1840, the viaduct's 27 brick
arches over the River Mersey carry the mainline railways
from Manchester to Birmingham and London. This structure
featured as the background in many paintings by L.S. Lowry.
Lowry often visited the Stockport War Memorial Gallery on
Greek Street especially during the annual Stockport Art
Guild exhibition of paintings and sculpture.
As of the 2001 UK census, Stockport had a population of
136,082. The 2001 population density was 11,937 per mi˛
(4,613 per km˛), with a 100 to 94.0 female-to-male ratio. Of
those over 16 years old, 32% were single (never married) and
50.2% married. Stockport's 58,687 households included 33.1%
one-person, 33.7% married couples living together, 9.7% were
co-habiting couples, and 10.4% single parents with their
children, these figures were similar to those of Stockport
Metropolitan Borough and England. Of those aged 16–74, 29.2%
had no academic qualifications, significantly higher than
that of 25.7% in all of Stockport Metropolitan Borough but
significantly similar to 28.9% in all of England.
Although suburbs such as Woodford, Bramhall and Hazel Grove
rank amongst the wealthiest areas of the United
Kingdom[citation needed] and 45% of the borough is green
space, districts such as Adswood and Brinnington suffer from
widespread poverty and post-industrial decay. In the
north-west of the borough are the relatively prosperous
areas of Heaton Moor and Heaton Mersey, which together with
Heaton Chapel and Heaton Norris comprise the so-called Four
Heatons. |
