About Fencing in Stockport
Stockport in Greater Manchester received its market charter in 1220 and grew over the following centuries into an important centre for the hatting trade, at one point home to a large share of the country's hat manufacturing, a heritage still marked by the town's Hat Works museum. The town's most striking landmark is the Stockport Viaduct, completed in 1840 to carry the railway across the Mersey valley on 27 brick arches, a structure so large it dominated the skyline and was once said to be the biggest building of its kind in the world. Stockport also built a significant cotton and silk trade during the Industrial Revolution, with mills lining the valleys of the Rivers Mersey, Tame and Goyt that meet in the town, and later became home to Robinsons Brewery, one of the country's oldest independent brewers, founded in the town in 1838.
