That other Stockport ….The Three Shires ….. looking for something new

The Three Shires on Great Underbank is back on its long journey for another occupant.

This I know because there is a “To Let” sign high up on the side of the building, and because its blue plaque lists its twisty history along with some of its occupants and uses.

It was built sometime in 1580, is a “Cheshire half-timbered town house formerly belonging to the Leighs of Adlington Hall. 

Its shopfront was inserted in 1824, [and] at various times has housed a confectioners, bakehouse, surgery, solicitors, restaurant and wine bar.”


Now I say back on its journey for another occupant, but that is for the upper floor, because at street level this is Huffs, the Café Bar and Restaurant.
