- The Underbank is an area of Stockport, Greater Manchester, containing the streets of Little Underbank and Great Underbank. Originally considered the finest shopping street in Stockport during the 19th century, the street was dubbed as Stockport's answer to Soho following an influx of independent businesses. The Underbank began to be developed when the increased use of wheeled transport necessitated a practical route from the brow to the nearby Roman road, facilitating traffic to London for over 400 years. The rapid expansion of the town following the Industrial Revolution let to increased development from the late 18th century. By the 19th century, Little Underbank contained a prestigious shopping district, with over 30 shops of various trades such as hosiers, milliners and curriers. Since 1974, the Underbank has been included in the Market Underbank Conservation Area. Following a £1.8 million grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2017, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council launched the 'Rediscovering the Underbanks' project, regenerating the area following neglect in favour of the nearby Merseyway Shopping Centre.
