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:
Railways of Marple and District from 1794
Originally published on the Marple Website in 2002, "Railways of Marple and District from 1794" written by the late Warwick Burton and his father Monty has been migrated to the new Marple Website in January 2019.
Rotary Club News for January 2019
December has proved to be a very busy month for the club. We have been house to house collecting with the Father Christmas sleigh. We covered New Mills, Whaley Bridge, Disley and 3 routes in Marple.
