EXHIBITIONS - EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
STOCKPORT 100
It's 1908 and the opening of Stockport’s Town Hall.
Imagine how you would feel as you wait in the crowd to see the royal procession pass by . . .
It's 1932 and you are going to see the first show at Stockport's Plaza Cinema.
Picture yourself in the queue as you wait for your ticket . . .
These are just two of the exciting events that have helped shape
Stockport and made it what it is today.
