• Air Raid Shelter: main entrance
• The Town Hall: in the Windmill Café next door

• Viaduct and The Hat Works: at One Stockport Hub in Mersey Square
• Edgeley Park – at Stockport County shop

What a great way to get children away from their screens and into the fresh air, exploring their town.

Children:

Even if you don't take part in the challenge why not come along and take a look at the model of St Mary's anyway - made by Pure Innovations
