History

Woodbank Hall was the home of local industrialist Peter Marsland before being donated to Stockport Borough in 1921. The firm of Peter Marsland owned nearby Kingston Mill, which was a large cotton-spinning factory.

Unfortunately, the hall has largely been abandoned after later serving as a museum and council office. Indeed, the building is now on Historic England’s heritage at-risk register. There are plans for the restoration of the structure. This would involve a conversion of the building into affordable housing plus the demolition of the modern outbuildings.
