Built for Stockport RFC, a rugby league club, in 1891, by 1903 the rugby club was defunct and Stockport County Football Club moved in.

Since then it has included various leisure facilities such as a multiplex cinema, a swimming pool, a Cineworld Cinema a bowling alley, a gym, a Quasar complex, and various food outlets. As of 2013, the area is being redeveloped and only half of the development is still open, including the pool, along with some other businesses. The remainder of the complex (including the bowling alley) nightclub and cinema has been demolished in preparation for a new multi-storey car park and office complex. Grand Central Stockport was owned by Norwich-based private property company Targetfollow, who acquired the complex for £10.8m in 2004. In January 2011, after lack of progress on the development scheme, Stockport Council purchased the complex. In December 2011, Stockport Council announced that Muse Developments, the urban regeneration division of construction group Morgan Sindall had been selected as the preferred developer with a report to be presented to the council the following week. The revamped regeneration plans include an office quarter for the town centre, a hotel, public space outside the railway station. In addition, the redevelopment would also include a multi-storey car park and to make the site into a more attractive gateway into the town centre. The new redevelopment plans are valued at approximately £145m.

Stockport bus station

Stockport bus station in Stockport, Greater Manchester was a bus terminus for approximately sixty-five bus services. It opened on 2 March 1981 on the site of a former car park. Before the bus station opened, most services terminated at Mersey Square. The bus station was located between Wellington Road (A6) and the Stockport Viaduct, a few hundred metres from Stockport railway station. The main bus station had 24 stands. Two additional stops, one for each direction, were located on Wellington Road, which runs between the bus station and Mersey Square; these were used by through services, including the high-frequency 192 route to Piccadilly Gardens. In 2014, plans to demolish the bus station and build a new a £42 million transport interchange on the existing site with a connection to the railway station were announced, but these plans were never carried out. In June 2018, plans were announced for a brand-new bus station (Stockport Interchange), that would be constructed on the same site underneath a 2-acre park. Other improved transport links will also be built, including a bridge to the railway station. On 29 August 2021 at 03:15, all stands at Stockport Bus Station (excluding the two Wellington Road stops) were closed after 40 years of continuous operation, being temporarily replaced by a new small bus terminal off Heaton Lane, as well as several bus stops spread out across Stockport town centre. The new Stockport Interchange facility is due to be completed in 2024.
