About

Heaviley is a residential district situated directly south of Stockport's town centre, nestled between the A6 Wellington Road and the A5145 Buxton Road. Its housing consists primarily of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes, alongside some later interwar and postwar developments. The area is defined by its proximity to major transport routes into Manchester and the Peak District, creating a steady flow of traffic along its main boundaries.

The local geography is marked by the steep incline of Heaviley Brow, which rises sharply from the River Mersey valley. This slope offers elevated views across parts of Stockport. A notable local landmark is the Heaviley Bowling Green, a longstanding community sports facility tucked away among the streets. Shopping needs are largely met by the nearby Shaw Heath and Hillgate areas, with the main railway station and larger retail centres a short walk north into the central town.
