Weir Mill,
Stockport.

Not your run of the mill, mill.

Weir Mill is a new community of 253 homes, independent bars, eateries, coffee shops and stores, new public squares and bags of green space.

Sat alongside the River Mersey and the town’s iconic viaduct, Weir Mill is part of the ambitious £1bn town centre regeneration plans being delivered by Stockport’s Mayoral Development Corporation.

We’re now on the hunt and the best independents to set up shop at Weir Mill, with space available in the Grade II listed mills and industrial-style new builds.

The history.

Weir Mill started off life in 1790 as an integrated cotton works powered by the River Mersey. It’s that old, it predates the viaduct, which was built over the mill’s engine house in 1840.

Devastating fires led architect George Woodhouse to design an innovative fireproof mill here in 1883. At the peak of production in 1892, Weir Mill was home to 900 looms and 60,000 spindles.

Since then, Weir Mill has been home to a mix of businesses, from urban airsoft to recording studios. After decades without any TLC, the mill was in desperate need of saving.

Indie bars, coffee shops, eateries and stores.

Weir Mill will be a new destination for food, drink and socialising. We’re on the hunt for the best independents to set up shop here.

Units range from 964 to 5,962 sq ft, and all have space to spill out onto the lush, green courtyards and public squares.

“The imminent conversion of the beautiful Weir Mill, next to the Mersey, and the iconic railway viaduct by the leading Manchester social impact developer Capital&Centric into flats, shops and public spaces is the highlight of a £1 billion regeneration that will transform a historic centre that’s already looking like one of the coolest little corners of the country.”
