Thanks for posting this, Stockport's a great town and it's one of the few North West towns that's getting better, the bars and restaurants of the old town are amazing.

The house next to the Brinksway Pictorium or the Bug Hut as it was known is where I grew up. Half a dozen doors down was Bramwell's Sweet and paper shop where I delivered the papers from around most of these streets. I used to go with my mum to Bann Street wash house (even though children weren't allowed happy days thank you Brinksway Moran,we must have crossed paths many times as I lived there for over 20 years.

That was beautiful, thank you.

Stockport was a dirty scruffy dusty place back then, but it was wonderful, magical and exciting. Now it is a collection of bland boxes seemingly designed by architects who only know how to construct square or oblong boxes! Shame on all those, including the Council who let it happen!

Is Hunt Street still there today or has it been obliterated completely?

[@MrPricey79]

The houses don't exist, but the cobbled road is still visible. An electricity substation is now on the site.

The young lad sitting on the step was taken in Portwood in the 60s by a friends father. It won a photographic prize and was called. One Clean Sock. But we have no name for the boy . Sorry.
