Stagger - Edgeley and Shaw Heath
Edgeley and Shaw Heath
Friday 21 November 2025
This stagger used to start down by the River Mersey next door to the pyramid. Due to closures and loss of real ale it is now it is but a shadow of its former self. There are no less than eight of the original pubs closed, with of the outlets still open, four don't serve real ale!
The trees in the older photo right have now gone and the cars are a little more modern but what else has changed? |

We now have an interesting array of photos of the Armoury. The initial photo (below left) has been dated as 1901 but the caption admits it could have be any time between 1895 and 1912. The middle photo is undated but the building has been rebuilt and/or modernised and looks closer to todays layout and now is obviously a Bells & Co. house. The third photo (below right) shows what the Armoury looks like today when it is firmly a Robinsons outlet. |
