large pedestrianised area built on stlts over the River Mersey.
There are two levels of walkways giving access to the retail
units. It is home to a large selecton of well-known retailers,

Spenders and JD. The centre and Stockport's shopping area
attract about 14 million visitors per year, making it a prominent
shopping destnaton in the Greater Manchester area. It covers
much of the afuent areas of South Manchester, competng
with other major retail destnatons in the area such
