Often referred to as the 'Soho of the North', the Underbanks area of Stockport is a thriving part of the town centre, with a range of cafes, shops and restaurants occupying its historic buildings.
Both Lower Hillgate and Little Underbank, which lead onto the town's market area, are home to a clutch of independent businesses - from record stores and magazine shops, to bakeries and celebrity fronted hair salons.

The proposals include using land behind the ‘pop side’ of the ground as a 60-space car park for staff, players and officials - albeit with a ‘considerable area’ set aside for landscaping and ecology.A planning appliction is expected later this year - but local nature lovers are urging the club to think again. They say the football pitch-sized plot is the only area suitable for wildlife in the whole of Edgeley - bar two pieces of land at the sewage works - hosting a variety of potentially vital flora and fauna.
