Subterranean Stockport reveals a hidden world beneath the streets of Stockport – a Greater Manchester town with a rich industrial past. It includes water tunnels from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries – excavated to supply water-powered corn and silk mills – as well as caves, culverts, sewers, icehouses, and abandoned air-raid shelters. This book documents the adventures of a group of urban explorers who have spent several years investigating and photographing underground Stockport. With history, anecdotes, sketches, and over 100 colour photographs, Emma Brown has created a unique record of Stockport’s forgotten places.
