The Best of Stockport: Alexandra Park
Alexandra Park in Edgeley wasn’t always a park, it was once the grounds of Edgeley House, close to the old Edgeley Bleach Works and the Sykes family who ran it. What’s now a five minute walk from Stockport station used to be private land.
Today it’s bowling greens, tennis and basketball courts, a skate park, and a reservoir popular with local anglers. Still doing the job a Victorian park was built for.
Particularly pretty in the sunshine.
