A new set of BROW STEPS for STOCKPORT?

 Royal Oak Brow.

Steps from ROYAL OAK YARD up to HIGH BANKSIDE (and possible urban park)

 White Lion Passage

New SOTTOPORTEGO; a single storey pedestrian right of way cut through St Ann’s Hospice Charity Shop. Royal Oak  Yard as a secret town piazza



Little Underbank has been adversely by the evolution of the motorised road transport approach to town planning. It gets mistaken for a road/route in local maps. It is a pedestrian zone and a cul de sac that has been allowed to revert to a rat run and short cut.

Cross routes encourage exploration, photography, tourism and access for pedestrians. The private contractors have closed the passage that once led into Great Underbank from the end of Royal Oak Yard. This is an opportunity to create a public space inside Royal Oak Yard and some brow steps to High Bankside

The proposed passageway inserted through St Ann's Hospice Shop as a route through to the ancient town rocks and the new brow steps to High Bankside (which could become a new town park).
