ABC Wednesday: S is for Spouthouse Farm


Spouthouse Farm dates from the 17th century and was originally an isolated farmhouse. It was a stagecoach stop on the main Stockport to Sheffield Stage Coach route. The three-storey property on the right was originally weavers cottages.

The adjacent barn on the corner of Tatton Street, piggeries and hayloft were converted in the 1970s into residential accommodation.

For ABC Wednesday.
