Converted 5/12/2019 to office premises. Closed 1/6/2017 and building sold. Pub interior gutted by builders from 5/12/2019, with all internal fittings removed, and rooms taken back to brickwork. Planning Application DC/075503 | Change of use of existing public house to a commercial office (Use Class B1) building inclusive of a cellar and loft conversion and material changes to the external facades. Granted 10/3/2020. History: Re-opened on 12/12/2014 after almost a year of closure, when it was thought it would never re-open. It had gone from strength to strength majoring on quality cask ales and good home-cooked food (served daily 12-4) - both much appreciated by the occupants of Stockport’s landmark blue pyramid that dwarfs the nearby pub. While there had been some opening out, the Woolpack still retained much of the original layout of front and rear lounges, drinking lobby and well-used vault. In former landlord Bob Dickinson’s day, the history of consistent excellence was marked by a clutch of CAMRA awards adorning the walls, from Pub of the Month, to Pub of the Year, local and regional. It was a handy starting point for a walk along the Mersey.
