About Edgeley
Where to stay in Edgeley
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Edgeley sits close to the town centre. The terraces around Alexandra Park stay residential, but Chestergate and Higher Hillgate lead into Stockport proper within a walk, which makes this one of the few districts where staying outside the centre costs little in convenience. Hat Works stands along that route.
If you want the park at the door, book the streets nearest Alexandra Park and accept that most of the rooms themselves are on the Stockport side rather than here.
About Edgeley
What are the main landmarks in Edgeley?
Hat Works carries the trade in its name. St Thomas' Church, Stockport and St Matthew's Church stand among the suburb's listed buildings, and the older addresses at 213, Chestergate and 23 and 27, Higher Hillgate fill out a record that runs to six entries. Alexandra Park breaks the terraces.
Its green opens in the middle of the Victorian streets that give Edgeley its shape.
What is the history of Edgeley?
Terraces set the pattern here. Edgeley grew as rows of Victorian housing around Alexandra Park, while the listed addresses on Chestergate and Higher Hillgate keep frontages that the heritage record singles out in this part of Stockport. Hat Works names the older trade.
St Thomas' Church, Stockport and St Matthew's Church remain the parish buildings of the district, and Edgeley reads as a suburb rather than a village that the town caught up with.
