The baking story of Stockport
Stockport's skyline is dominated by its great railway viaduct, and its history by hats: by the 19th century it was one of the country's main hatting centres, a story told at its hat museum. The town's food life centres on the Market Place, where a Victorian Market Hall still trades, and the old streets around it are home to independent bakers, cafés and bars. Stockport was historically in Cheshire, and its baking reflects both its Cheshire roots and the Lancashire mill towns nearby: Cheshire cheese, soul cakes in autumn, Eccles cakes and Manchester tarts. The town has a long brewing tradition too, and the Underbanks, a historic street below the market, are well worth exploring.
Local bakes to look out for
- Eccles cake – Flaky pastry around a buttery currant filling.
- Manchester tart – Jam, custard and coconut in a shortcrust case.
- Soul cake – A small spiced cake marked with a cross, made around All Souls' Day.
Bakery hunter's tip: Explore the Market Place and Underbanks on market days, when the Victorian Market Hall and surrounding streets are at their busiest.
Did you know? Stockport's covered Market Hall is a Victorian glass-and-iron structure dating from the 1860s.
