RIBA NW HCS Group Stockport Walking Tour

We will be joined by Kelsall Architects, Stockport Council and BDP who will provide insight into the heritage regeneration of the Underbank, Market Hall, the Heritage Action Zone and finishing at Weir Mill.

This event offers a valuable chance to gain first‑hand insight into Stockport’s major heritage regeneration projects directly from the architects, council leads and designers behind them. Through guided walks and informal talks, you’ll see how key areas like the Underbank, the Heritage Action Zone and Weir Mill are being transformed, while learning about the challenges, decisions and collaboration involved.
