If you live, grew up, or have spent much time in Stockport, we guarantee you will have experienced a few of these!
Stockport Marketplace has a new addition. It’s not a bar or a restaurant it’s a co-working space. Co-working spaces are growing around the country and highlight the importance of flexible working environments.
The team behind Profolk, Hall Property, have done an incredible job restoring this old bank to its former glory. With a spend of over 600,000 it’s safe to say no corners have been cut and no detail too small.
This co-working space is setting its target on luring digital freelancers and small companies into town. We have to thank Hall Property for creating an option for these kind of workers as it is a huge step in regeneration and adds a new type of job to the local market.
Internally there are office spaces, hot desk options, kitchens, showers, meeting rooms, cycle racks & more.
The pictures taken really don’t do the space justice. What the team have created really is spectacular. I’d even imagine guided tours of this historical building would be immensely popular.
We must commend the team for using the attributes of the building and incorporating them into the design. Using the bank vaults as meeting spaces, cleaning up the stained glass, highlighting the cornices, detailing the historic brick work all add to the grandeur of the space. The phrase that comes to mind is “they don’t build them like this anymore”.

Stockport’s Woodstock
Historic. Iconic. Ground breaking. A leap forward. All these words have been used across social media and other outlets to describe the hysteria that took over Stockport on recent days.
45,000 people over three nights descended into our town and created a buzz like nothing seen before.
Businesses were full, people were on the streets, communities gathered in gardens, all to listen, watch and admire this weekends events unfold.
It was almost a leap into the future, a mirror into which we see ourselves and our town in days to come.
If there was ever time to be proud of Stockport and what we have become this was it.
What Blossoms have done for our town should never be forgotten. They are true beacons of change. It is those 5 boys that have contributed to so much of what we have today.
From the council allowing this event, Stockport County agreeing to host, the organisers, the bands & the people that came – all we can say is thankyou.
We can only hope it becomes an annual event and continues to grow.
A huge shout to Blossoms and their tour manager Dan Woolfie for allowing us access to the press pit to take some snaps.
Don’t judge us… all we had was an iPhone.
Enjoy the pics below.

Coffee, Cakes, & Vintage
Nestled in the historic Pear Mill lies one of Stockport’s true hidden gems. Whether you are interested in vintage or not this cafe really embraces its unique setting.
Upon entering Pear Mill (follow the instructions on the bicycle outside) you are greeted by an expansive warehouse displaying all kinds of vintage whatnots.
As we meandered through the vintage artwork, clothes, pottery, furniture & more we were taken a back by the amount of items on offer.
The vintage tea room is located at the rear of the floor which we were glad to find as all that rooting around resulted in the need for a pick me up.
The cafe sits next to beautiful old windows that on the right day; draw in incredible lighting that enhance the experience.
The cafe offers the usual vintage cafe trappings such as handmade cakes, milkshakes, glass bottled Dandelion and Burdock drinks and lemonades and of course a variety of teas and coffee.
If you are on the lookout for some new items or just fancy a visit to an interesting cafe we highly recommend a trip.
