Stockport Christadelphian Meeting Room
Dodge Hill, Tiviot Dale, Stockport, Greater Manchester, SK4 1RD
Opened as a school in 1857 by Major Henry Coppock, Stockport's first Town Clerk, the building has served as a place of worship since at least 1875, including a short period as Stockport's first Jewish synagogue. It is situated on the boundary of the Dodge Hill Conservation Area, one of the last surviving examples of a Victorian neighbourhood in Stockport.
Since the building was constructed the surrounding area has changed dramatically. Displays include 'Then' and 'Now' photographs from throughout the 20th Century, as well as describing the history and development of the building and how it is used by the community that meets there today.
A railway tunnel opened in 1865 passes just a few feet below the building, becoming part of the Cheshire Lines Committee system. Following this year's HOD theme of "Routes - Networks - Connections", our displays will include maps explaining how Stockport's railway network developed, connecting the town's people and industries to the rest of the country.
Refreshments will be available.
