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.

Memorials rescued from Albert Schools
In February 2019 the Marple Website was pleased to be able to rescue two historic plaques from the Albert Schools building on Church Lane due for demolition. These include a previously unrecorded WWI War Memorial and a lost plaque commemorating Thomas and Hannah Carver from 1911.
