Offerton Estate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Offerton Estate is an estate and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester, England, situated to the south-east of Stockport town centre. The parish boundaries exclude the area of Offerton Green, further to the east. The parish was established on April 1, 2002.

In 2006, the Offerton Estate Parish changed its name to the Offerton Park Parish to better reflect the actual boundaries of the Parish which encompasses an area larger than the Offerton Estate itself.

In 2006 Dial Park Primary School, which had previously closed down with a number of other schools in the Stockport area in 2003, was burnt down creating huge smoke that could be seen all over the borough. The fire was so devastating that 13 fire engines had to attend the incident.
