Over the past 6 years, Rediscovering the Underbanks has been an exciting project which aimed to bring buildings back to life and reconnect people with Stockport’s historic heart. The project has been led and funded by Stockport Council, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and a number of partners and community groups.
The project included a programme of events which aimed to increase knowledge and appreciation of the unique history of the area, which lies below the historic market.
To understand the impact of the project, we’d like to get your views on the area, and find out more about your knowledge and understanding of the Underbanks.
All respondents will be entered into a prize draw to win a fantastic framed print by local artist Eamonn Murphy.

The survey closes at 11:45pm on Tuesday 31 March 2026.
