Hidden beyond a row of shops near to the centre of Stockport lies a secret village that has been abandoned and closed to the public for more than 15 years. Once home to a gym, corner shops and a historic cafe, Stockport Village is soon to be demolished for good.
Once a popular spot, Stockport Village now lies derelict and forgotten. But the small shopping precinct remains a time capsule of its heyday - with many shop fronts well-preserved.
Urban explorer Exploring With Lewis, who asked not to use his real name, visited Stockport Village recently - sharing his exploration with more than 4,000 followers online. “I never knew this place even existed at first,” Lewis told the M.E.N. “My friend told me about it and I was intrigued. When you go into abandoned places, you expect a shell but going into Stockport Village was just mind-blowing. It was crazy, it was like time had stood still.”
