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.

Below are the most recent additions:
Relocation of Brabyns Iron Bridge Bronze Plaque
As many people will know, the Marple Website was the driving force behind the restoration of the Iron Bridge in Brabyns Park. This lengthy project began in 2001 and restoration was completed in 2008.
The web site has been working with Friends of Brabyns Park and the Council to secure the future of the Bronze Plaque installed in 2009 and is pleased to report that the new railings and plaque have now been fitted.
MOGpotpeople takeover Mellor and Marple Bridge?
Residents and businesses in Mellor and Marple Bridge are invited to support Mellor Open Gardens 2021 by decorating the villages with flowerpotpeople, called MOGpotpeople, in their front gardens or shop windows.
