#stockport — Modernist Delights

Stockport Exchange Station Car Park, 2024

A multi-level parking garage at night is brightly lit, with rows of parked cars visible through open sides. Streetlights illuminate the foreground, where a person walks near several parked vehicles. The surrounding area appears quiet and clean.

Not modernist, but I like how this one turned out.

Merseyway Shopping Centre, Stockport, 2025

A grey, modernist building with a walkway above and a colorful mural on the lower wall featuring animals, a rainbow, and the word STOCKPORT. Signs point to a footpath, and the sky is partly cloudy. Construction barriers are visible in the foreground.

Urban scene showing people walking up a wide outdoor staircase between modern buildings. Signs above direct to parking and a heritage trail. A mannequin display is visible behind glass on the left, and a colorful mosaic art is on the right wall. Blue sky overhead.

A person in black passes a fenced construction area before a grey, rectangular building. The lower wall features a colorful mural with birds, a rainbow, and greenery. Above, “STOCKPORT” is visible. Plastic barriers and bins line the street under a cloudy sky.

A large, multi-story concrete building with weathered, gray and beige facades is under construction. Fenced off, the site has orange barriers, scattered building materials, and unfinished landscaping. Two people walk on the road in front, under a cloudy sky.

A branch of Ryman in Stockport, 2025

…but it’s what above that interests me.

Street view of a Ryman stationery shop with a white facade and large red “Ryman” sign. The shop has two wide display windows filled with products and posters. Above, the building features beige Art Deco architecture with tall, vertical windows. Blue sky with some clouds.

Brewery, Stockport, 2025

A large red-brick brewery building labeled F. Robinson Ltd with multiple signs. The structure features a glass elevator shaft, metal tanks, a clock tower, and a gated entrance with warning and no parking signs. The sky is cloudy overhead.

The imposing Robinsons Brewery, towering over Stockport’s Lower Hillgate, complete with the modern addition of an exposed staircase – my beloved. 2025.

The future of housing in Britain – a 1960’s converted office block in Stockport, 2025

A modern black-and-white four-story office building stands behind a row of closed, graffiti-marked shops with peeling blue paint and metal shutters. The sky is partly cloudy, and a To Let sign is visible. The scene appears quiet and urban.

Commercial building, Stockport, 2025

I love this style of building, the dark brick and chunky, angular form make it feel like a modern castle, reinterpreted for kings not of countries, but of construction recruitment & facilities management.

A brown brick three-story office building with Armstrong Group signage. Banners on the fence read “Labourers & Cleaners Required.” Several signs are attached to the building. The sky is blue with scattered clouds, and the street is empty.

Windowed industrial building in Stockport, 2025

A narrow alley with cracked pavement runs between old brick industrial buildings. The right building has large, dirty glass windows and a faded “FIRST STREET” sign. Overhead wires and cloudy skies add to the worn, urban atmosphere.
