Cranford Golf Centre in Heaton Mersey, Stockport

A look at a lost golf centre in Heaton Mersey, Stockport.

The gates at the entrance to the old golf centre

In May we found a lost golf centre on one of our daily walks in Stockport during lockdown.

This building will not be standing for much longer

We were in Heaton Mersey again yesterday and had a walk round the Common and Nature Reserve next to the centre.

Cranford Golf Centre was a golf driving range. It closed down on the 31st October 2014.

Looking online there were plans for the area to be turned into housing. We saw a notice with more details of the demolition of the golf centre buildings on the gate yesterday, it was dated 22nd June 2020.

Finding a lost Golf Centre in Stockport

We found a lost golf centre yesterday!

We went to Heaton Mersey for our daily exercise and while having a wander we took a turn into a side road we hadn't been down before.

Half way along it we spotted a gate with the word GOLF on it so had to take a closer look.

It's amazing how much we've still got to explore of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport.
