Stockport Development Plans 2025: Is the Viaduct going to Disappear?

#ManchesterBuildingBoom #StockportConstruction #ModernArchitecture In this video we look at construction in Stockport, including proposals for residential buildings to be built right next to the historic Grade 2 star railway viaduct that will be considerably taller than its height, blocking views of it from the west. 0:00 Introduction 0:35 Whirlwinde tour of construction sites in Stockport. 4:50 Rejected Lidl supermarket proposal 5:45 Town centre proposed, abandoned, in progress 7:16 Helen Clapcott exhibition featuring the railway viaduct 8:10 About the railway viaduct and proposal for tall blocks in front of it. 9:25 St Paul's Cathedral The viaduct already has 'competitors' which diminish the views both of and from the historic structure, which is Grade 2 star listed. I compare its significance to that of St Paul's Cathedral in London, which has protected views from certain angles. The railway viaduct is the symbol of Stockport, used on many logos and depicted in art by both schoolchildren and famous artists, such as LS Lowry and Helen Clapcott. I went to see her inspiring exhibition at Stockport Art Gallery, featuring many views of Stockport railway viaduct. https://www.helenclapcott.com/ With many sightlines blocked on both sides, is the railway viaduct destined to become a piece of Greater Manchester's 'hidden heritage'? We also look at a number of construction projects in Stockport, planned, in progress, abandoned and one rejected, including the proposed Lidl supermarket in Cheadle Heath.
