Welcome to the Marple Website
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 continues to do this with regular updates and lots of interaction with the local community.
Looking for something still on the old site? Please use this link.
Below are the most recent additions:
Marple Poppy Appeal 2019: £18,000 and counting!
The Marple Poppy Appeal has once again been a great success as we have raised over £18,000 to date (still counting) and we cannot thank the people of Marple and the surrounding areas enough for their continued support and generosity, especially in these somewhat difficult and uncertain times.
50 year-old vintage Marple slide-show unearthed
It's amazing that an audio / slideshow created by Marple resident Hilda Bright in the 1960s has managed to survive intact for over 50 years. Long enough to be converted to digital by the Marple Website and shared with the local community.
Thank you to Cole and Fox Interior Design
