There has been a pub on the site of the White Lion since the 14th century. The present building was erected in 1904. A hearty blend of late medieval and Baroque features in a typically exuberant Edwardian fashion, it is Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1240653 Having been closed for a number of years it was acquired for redevelopment by Stockport Council. The intention is that the ground floor will kept for commercial use as a bar or restaurant whilst the upper floors will be converted into residential apartments. The scaffolding in which has been encased for some time has now been removed. Internal restoration is continuing.
