Discover Stockport’s Hidden Gems
The Underbanks is Stockport’s alternative quarter; a vibrant and creative community of independent retailers, boutique shops, cutting-edge fashion stores, award-winning salons, lively cafés, bars and traditional pubs and stylish new apartments. Home to a maze of twisting side streets, many of which still bear their medieval names, the area offers a different experience to the typical high street. Steeped in heritage, it is fast becoming the place to be seen, to live or to pick up anything quirky and original.
The Underbanks Traders' Association, in partnership with Stockport Council's Town Centre Management Team, has launched a contemporary marketing campaign aimed at boosting shopper and visitor numbers in the area.
A new logo has been launched, as well as promotional postcards outlining what the area has to offer, a shopping guide and a new website. The literature is currently being distributed widely across Greater Manchester.
For more information, log on to www.theunderbanks.com, pick up an Underbanks bag from the Tourist Information Centre or from shops in the area, or call 0161 474 4444.
