This is the community web site for Marple in Stockport. It was started in 1998 to provide useful information for local people and potential visitors and to contribute to the fantastic community spirit that abounds in this small canal town on the edge of the peaks. It is now in its 3rd Generation and continues to do this with regular updates and lots of interaction with the local community.

The Marple Website and Marple Local History Society are delighted to have collaborated with Sarah Laker at Marple Stationery Supplies for the second time to create a Marple Vintage Calendar. Published by Sarah and printed by HB Printing, this is Stationery Supplies' seventh calendar to raise funds for local causes.
The 2025 calendar costs £7.50 with £1 from every copy sold going to Marple Dementia Drop-In. This will add to the £1,300 already raised by previous calendars in support of local causes including New Horizons, Mellor Country House, Friends of Marple Memorial Park and Marple Carnival.

This walk down Marple Locks has an option to shorten the full route by around a mile. The full route (blue on the map) includes a section from the aqueduct to Compstall via the fields of Water Meetings Farms and alongside the River Etherow that can be very muddy. The shortcut shown in red through Brabyns Park will avoid these muddiest areas.
If you represent a local non-profit making organisation that you feel should be featured in the Community Group Pages, if you'd like a banner to promote your local business, or if you have any ideas about how the site can be improved, please get in touch using the contacts page.
Independent contributions and articles on local history, attractions or other matters of interest to the local community are particularly welcome.
