Reddish

Two miles north of Stockport town centre lies Reddish - one of the borough's largest areas with a population of more than 30,000. Its history of rapid development during the industrial revolution can still be seen in buildings such as Houldsworth Mill. The district shopping centre runs chiefly along Gorton Road from Houldsworth Square and popular Reddish Vale Country Park lies nearby.
