Thanks for posting. I left Stockport the year after, aged 27, and moved to Hampshire. Stockport will always feel like "home" though. Me moving south was bad news for Robinsons Brewery profits I imagine. Those little kids on the fairground ride will be 40 years old now!!! Time flies.
The last few photos are of turncroft Lane, I live a few streets away and the carnival still goes down here. Great video mate, the mersey square ones really brought back some memories 👍🏻
Brinnington railway station, when I was a young guy I worked there selling tickets for about six months then onto Pway dept Stockport central for another few months, Stockport is a great town or was when I was there.
Stockport legend ! Just a drunk really who was a barfly round the market pubs. Remember he used to sell plasters and Xmas wrapping on the market brew for beer money
