taken 6 years ago, near to Stockport, England

Closures on Market Place
On the left is The Cocked Hat SJ8990 : The Cocked Hat which opened in 2013. It was previously the Pack Horse SJ8990 : Packhorse Inn. Built before 1671 on the site of the Rector's house. It was first mentioned as a pub in 1790. The present building probably dates from the mid 19th century. It is now closed and boarded up.
On the right is the forum NS2 fashion shop at #3 Market Place. The store closed after being raided by Trading Standards who found and seized a large quantity of bogus counterfeit garments. Link
The building was once covered with a fake-stone covering much of which is now coming away to reveal older brickwork overpainted with a mock Tudor facade.
Update: The Cocked Hat reopened in February 2019.
