Robinsons Brewery now has stables on this road where they keep their two (occasionally three) Shire horses. You may also see one of them being trained pulling the brewery dray cart around Stockport town centre in the mornings. Also recommended is the Robinsons Visitor Centre on Apsley Street; highlighting the history of a family-run brewing company that is still going strong in 2017 and is fully operational, brewing good beer most days. In the visitor centre you can also join in a guided tour (fee payable- booking recommended) around the old Unicorn Brewery building. Robinsons Beer can be purchased with food in the Visitor Centre afterwards or do what we do which is just call in and have a bite to eat and enjoy a pint or two. |

| A lovely pub, the Buck and Dog, on the banks of the River Mersey. On this site now stands a branch of Barclays Bank, but the old main pub door with its stonework and sculpture has been preserved at the side of the modern building. |

| Castle Yard. The river on the far side with the steep side (facing away) made this a good defensible site. Location of motte and bailey castle. Also medieval fortifications. Old castle now buried under new shops. The yard remains. |

Although most of the church was rebuilt in the early 19th century, the chancel dates back to around 1310 and there are small parts surviving from the original 12th century building. It is Grade I listed. |
