Wharf Street, STOCKPORT, SK4 1UD

Above the Pelican crossing on Lancashire Hill the road divides intotwo lanes going uphill. The left hand lane is for the A626 to Heaton Chapel and the A6 to Manchester. The right hand lane is for the B6167 to Reddish and the A626 Tiviot Way for Marple going down to the M60 at Portwood. New mapping now shows the A626 through Heaton Chapel and Portwood as the A6188 but as yet there is no new signage indicating the change of number.

This is actually a working flour mill, operated by Nelstrops. The main building is the second one on the site and dates from 1893. Many extensions since including various silos (Image]). According to Wikipedia, "the mill uses wheat from East Anglia, and imports Manitoba wheat from Canada and Spring wheat from the US, which is brought by ship to Seaforth Dock in Liverpool and then brought to Stockport in 20 tonne bulk wheat lorries, typically 1,600 tonnes a week. The flour produced at the mill is typically sold to local bakers and supermarkets in England, as well as being exported to Nigeria, Egypt and Jordan."
