What is the Stockport Museum?
Stockport Museum is a museum that is located in the heart of Stockport where you will go on a fascinating and interesting journey through time starting from the Victorian times up to present day Stockport. The museum also puts on a number of exhibitions for visitors to enjoy.
Exhibitions Visited
The Stockport Collection Photographic Exhibition
This Exhibition consists of a beautiful collection of Heidi Alexander works. They show Stockport Market from 1976 to 1977.
She donated the photos to the museum.
It was a great exhibition as it gave you a real insight of how Stockport was popular for its market. Each photograph was of a different stall. It included the person that was selling and the items itself such as clothes and flowers.
For instance it only costed 19p for a pair of socks at that time. Wow.
The details on each photo was brilliant and the descriptions were to the point. Each one would describe the stall, the items that they were selling and the period or the date in which it was taken.
The Other Galleries
Stockport Museum also has other Galleries.
This includes:
The History Gallery
The Family Gallery
Strawberry Studios
1940s and 50s living room and kitchen
Football
World War and Transport
The History Gallery
In this Gallery there were rocks. There was a great variety of pottery and cutlery that were used by the people of Mellor in the olden times. Salt was important in those times as it was used to preserve meat.
This small Gallery gives you an insight of the beliefs that people had in the old times and the cutlery that they used. It was great that the objects on display were varied and they were beautifully presented.
The Family Gallery
The Family Gallery is a great interactive space for young ones that features animals and objects relating to Egypt. It provides a space for them that is both fun and educational for them to enjoy.
Strawberry Studios
In this part of the museum there are posters about some of the famous bands that recorded in this studio including Joy Division. There were some great objects too.
Unknown Pleasures the album by Joy Division was recorded at Strawberry in April 1979. It was a majestic album as it changed the face of music.
The 1950s Kitchen
The kitchen was made by a company called CSA Industries which are based in Warwick. It was lovely to look at a kitchen from that era in which black and white was common as the colours at that time. It was also interesting to see all the common pieces of equipment that people had during those times. This included a Hotpoint Washing Machine and the Kenwood Food Mixer.
Fashion and Home Furniture
Fashion and home furniture began to change. Drap designs were replaced by innovative designs, high colours and patterns. There was a good and diverse range of fashion on display including a dress and swim wear from 1989.
Football
Stockport is famous for football as they have its onw football team called Stockport County. It was enjoyable to see all the trophies and medals that were won over many years.
The last Gallery that we visited looked at the importance of the World War. I liked looking at the uniform and the range of objects that were relating to the war.
Stockport was also famous for having numerous sites for entertainment and leisure. They had a choice of 2 theatres. Museums and libraries were also encourages as it would indicate high class. Stockport’s first park was called Vernon Park which was opened in 1858 where people could enjoy walks around beautiful landscapes. It was interesting learning about Stockport culture over the years.
Entry
Stockport Museum is free to enter however you will need to book in advance online to secure a timed slot to guarantee entry.
Facilities
Stockport Museum does not have its own café however there are a number of cafes that are nearby.
There are toilets at the venue.
Lighting and Access
Most of the building had decent lighting with small areas that were dim. Access to the museum is through a small number of steps. Inside the museum there are stairs and lifts available to access all floors of the building.
Parking
There is no designated car park for this museum however there is parking nearby.
If you love learning about history, art and culture in a fun, interesting and in an engaging way then head down to Stockport Museum.

A most interesting museum located across four floors that's very easily overlooked because of its small inauspicious entrance. Staff are most welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. A very interesting temporary photographic exhibition when we visited. Well worth dropping in.

We visited to look at the 1976-77 photos of Stockport and stayed on a couple of hours to look at the various displays about the history of the town.

What a lovely museum! Very interesting exhibits, spotlessly clean, well kept, friendly staff and fun stuff for kids to do. Loved it. The Strawberry Studies section was great.

Can’t believe this little wonder! It is fantastic. After our visit to Staircase House (amazing!), a staff member had asked if we had been to the museum next door! We didn’t even know it existed. We were absolutely over the moon to discover this wonderful museum. All the collections, artefacts, models, video footage and interactive elements, etc are top class. It was so quiet and relaxing - lovely atmosphere inside. An amazing insight into Stockport’s history. Will definitely visit again!

A really excellent local museum. Three floors of exhibits telling the history of Stockport from ancient archaeological finds to the present day. There is so much to see and it is all very well-presented. Wish I had had longer so I could have studied everything in more depth but I will definitely come back. AND it's free. I can think of several underwhelming local museums which really should take a leaf out of Stockport's book!

I was thrilled to see the original painting by Lowery .
The history of Stockport music seen was fantastic
I can see a lot of thought went in making the experience enjoyable for all ages.

Interesting but I had been told that pot noddles were a local delicacy and been invented in Stockport. I searched the museum but couldn’t find any trace. Maybe this is purely for the locals.

Visited on a Friday for the Bands FC Exhibition, tied in nicely with the Strawberry Studios floor of the museum. Great for fans of football and music in addition to your expected museum subjects such as local history and science.
Gift shop reasonably priced and staff were in high spirits even with the news that an online consultation threatens to shut this great place down.
Stockport is meant to be expanding, not shrinking! Use your free museums more people.

Is the museum wheelchair accessible?

Hi Belinda - both the Museum and Staircase house are fully accessible by wheelchair :-) the House is one of very few fully accessible historic houses. We also have dedicated disabled parking bays at the rear of the House.
Thanks
Phil
