Staircase House

Staircase House

Staircase House is a Grade II* listed medieval building, from 1460, in Stockport, Greater Manchester. It’s been a long time since we visited an indoor museum, which was so usual for us before the pandemic. Usually an audio guide is available, but not now due to covid measures they are taking. A bookguide is only […]
