Jokingly dubbed the 'eighth wonder of the world', the Stockport Pyramid has been the centre of rumours, stories, and speculation since it was built in the late eighties. Originally part of the 'Valley of the Kings' project which aimed to see five pyramids built along the River Mersey, it was the only one that was ever constructed.

I used to work there. It had a decent vibe apart from two things: lots of static on the door handles and a rat problem. I'm sure they'll sort it out 😅

Looking at this tour video fully confirms that building a pyramid in the middle of Stockport was the worst idea in the world
