Description

In 1976, Heidi Alexander and her trusty Leica M4 camera journeyed to Stockport. In 2020, whilst sorting through old negatives, she rediscovered what she’d captured that year – a Portrait of a Community now lost to time. Discover Heidi’s lively street photos of a bustling town square, filled with market traders, pastors, fashionable shoppers – people laughing, shouting, and smiling. Accompanying the photos are recollections of this time by community members who remember it.

Perfect for Stopfordians and budding street photographers, this hardback edition features introductions by Paul Morley and Heidi Alexander.

“This Stockport doesn’t exist anymore, and yet here it is, existing beautifully, standing up for itself, with plenty to say, sowing the seeds of tomorrow, in spite of everything.” – Paul Morley

“I remember well the charm of Stockport Market from when I was a student at Manchester Polytechnic in the early ‘70s. Heidi has captured that time and period very well in this book.” ­– Martin Parr

Staircase House & Stockport Museum

Dating back to 1460, Staircase House is Stockport’s oldest town house. Lovingly restored following a devastating fire in 1995 it is one of Stockport’s 7 museums. The Grade II* listed house is furnished in different period styles from the 1600s to 1940 to illustrate that the house was occupied for over 500 years. It also boasts one of only three surviving Jacobean cage-newel staircases in the country. Visitors can enjoy a barrier-free, hands-on historical journey to discover just how our ancestors lived from the 15th to the 20th centuries.

Adjacent to Staircase House stands Stockport Museum. Here visitors can time-travel through Palaeolithic to present day Stockport to experience the town’s entire history all under one roof. Learn about the Mellor Iron Age hilltop settlement, life in medieval times, the thriving textile industry of the Victorian era, the impact of World War I, Strawberry Studios and sport in Stockport.
