There's also Robinsons brewery and Strawberry studios.
One of the Cockleshell heroes, James Conway, was from Stockport and the band 10cc also came from there.

Studio receptionist Kathy recorded the line "Big boys don't cry"

10CC didn't come from Stockport, rather they formed in the town and created Strawberry Studios which was in Stockport.
Three of the band were from Higher Broughton / Prestwich and Eric Stewart was from Droylsden.
The Boys In Blue was not written by a Stockport band ;)

Fuckall else to do in Stockport other than kick a ball around.

Take it you haven’t been there for a while mate?

One of if not the the most booming towns in the country right now, the development and investment going on at the moment is insane.

Arguably the Top 3 youngsters in the Premier League at the moment were born and raised in Stockport.

Foden, Palmer and Mainoo. All Stockport lads.

Surely this can't just be a coincidence?

Apart from 1 isn't from stockport and 1 is average its a great question.

it's staggering that nobody has mentioned the museum

Hats off to you. ;-)
