Dungeon:

Stockport’s old lock up and Court Leet

This is the building at the top of Mealhouse Brow and was where the Court Leet was held from the 15th until the late 18th century.
Here, the business of the town was conducted by the burgesses. There is also a cell that was used as the town’s ‘lock-up’ below ground. Prisoners were held in the Dungeon waiting for the Court Leet or to be transferred to Chester or Lancaster Assizes, only if their crime was too serious to be tried in the Court Leet
The building was used in later years as a shop, taking advantage of the cool conditions to sell fresh produce. - Stockport Heritage.

The small dungeon at end in 'the lock-up'. these buildings date back as far as the 15the century.
Free admission, but a donation towards upkeep is kindly received as it relies solely on public donation. A lovely piece of old stockport.

Thankyou all for watching friends.
