About Reddish
Where to stay in Reddish
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Reddish is residential first. Rooms are scarce on the streets around St Elisabeth's Church, so most visitors book in Stockport town centre and travel the short distance out, which keeps the district's own quiet intact for the people who live in it. The Church of St Mark marks the other end.
If you want a base with the same feel, Heaton Chapel and Brinnington sit among Stockport's other districts and work the same way for anyone visiting rather than staying.
About Reddish
What are the main landmarks in Reddish?
Reddish keeps two listed churches. St Elisabeth's Church and the Church of St Mark are the buildings the record singles out here, and a walk taking in both covers most of what Reddish offers a visitor who has come to look at architecture. Neither sits on a tourist route.
Streets of houses fill the ground between them, which is the ordinary texture of Stockport away from the town centre.
What is the history of Reddish?
Reddish leaves a thin paper record. The listings that survive are ecclesiastical rather than industrial or civic, which puts St Elisabeth's Church and the Church of St Mark at the centre of any account of how the district grew. Stockport absorbed it.
Heaton Chapel, Brinnington and Portwood went the same way, and Reddish reads as one district among the several that make up the town.
Where is Reddish?
The district covers a little under three square kilometres of Stockport, set among the town's other districts including Heaton Chapel, Brinnington and Portwood.
