Stockport

Stockport is a large town in Greater Manchester, England, 7 miles south-east of Manchester city centre. Historically, most of the town was in Cheshire, but the area to the north of the Mersey was in Lancashire. It is 12 miles of Oldham and 22 miles of Rochdale.

The First World War had much impact on the town, many buildings and houses were blown up by the German planes, immigrants were kicked out of their homes and made homeless, Greystoke Avenue was nicknamed Homeless Corner, due to many of them living in empty houses there. The home of Phil and Jane Hunter, 188 Greystoke Avenue, was bombed.
