The A6 out of Stockport towards Manchester. Used today as a storage depot the building on the left was constructed in 1877 for the London and North Western Railway Company and replaced a smaller storage building on the site, which was destroyed by fire. The warehouse narrowly escaped destruction from a bomb in World War II, sustaining slight damage to the NW corner of building. It is currently covered in scaffolding whilst some maintenance work is being carried out.
