Important remains of Oldknow's factory on Hillgate, Stockport, were excavated and the power features from the late 18th century were found to be well preserved. This was the first non-water powered mill in Stockport. GMAU also advised on archaeological input to the SEMMMS road scheme. A major archaeological investigation of Staircase House in Stockport Market Place was completed and a comprehensive report produced. Many elements of the historic fabric ewre consolidated and exposed to public view, including the late medieval cruck frame. Elsewhere the 17th century Ridge End Farm (and barn) and 16th century Wybersley Hall (home of Bradshaw the Regicide) have had archaeological surveys to inform conversion schemes.
