HAPPY BIRTHDAY-STOCKPORT HERITAGE CENTRE
Congratulations to Stockport's Heritage Centre for being 7 years old this week.


To commemorate this monumental occasion the Trust laid on a small birthday party for the tireless volunteers who give there time each week to greet visitors with a smile and a cheery word.


The afternoon was rounded off by Jim Clare modeling his, soon to be, new Town Criers outfit.

Stockport's Heritage Centre is the cool place to be
In the current heat wave, it's always nice to know a cool place to chill out. St Marys and the Heritage Centre are naturally peaceful and cool because of the Cheshire sandstone walls. There is always something new to see. In fact the challenge to the Heritage Centre volunteers, Jim, Eric, Alan, Grace and Sheila, is displaying the latest items donated by the public, which can anything, from waistcoat to doctor's prescription. Here is one of the most recent donations, a brass plaque from Stockport Baths.

Heritage Centre on the internet
Trevira has posted a number of photos of the Heritage Centre to Flickr. You will see her photo of our toy soldier elsewhere on this page. I thought you might like to see the rest.
Says Trevira, "I really enjoyed this display, being an aspiring dress historian, and it was an inspired idea to curate a selection of garments that everyone invariably keeps and treasures."
Explore her photostream for old ephemera including fashions, toys and wrapping paper.
The Heritage Centre, if you don't already know, is in St Mary's, Churchgate, Stockport and is open Tues, Fri and Sat (market days) and is run by volunteers always keen to talk about Stockport's history and heritage.

A name for the most popular Heritage Centre volunteer
It is time this old soldier got a name. He is popular with children, he guards the Heritage Centre entrance, and features on the Internet.
Put your suggestions as a comment, or email me on stockporttrust@ntlworld.com.
I will ask Sheila, the volunteer who bought him to life, to judge the best name.
