84 years in Stockport and I do not know where Sandy Brow was/is! From a local history book I learn it was not far from Edward Street and the name Brow suggests a steep hill as in Meal House Brow and Rostron's Brow down from the Market Place in the town. (My mother pronounced it as Brew). I also know it was the scene of violent demonstrations in 1819 about the parliamentary vote prior to the Peterloo massacre. But where was it exactly? Thanks for any help. Eric Millward ----- No virus found in this message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 2014.0.4158 / Virus Database: 3614/6766 - Release Date: 10/20/13

Hi Eric Following the line of Edward street to the east and you will come to Gorsey Brow running almost in a south direction. Just across this and inline with Edward was a Sandpit. It was so big they put it on the map. My thinking is Sandy Brow was related to that area a short distance from Edward. I have sent you a copy of this map dated around 1894.

It is enumerated on the 1851 census There are three properties on the page 11 Duke Street 13 Kershaw Street and 14 Sandy Brow The next page has Kershaws Row And the previous one has Duke Street.

Hi Eric, I had a look on a 1910 map. Edward Street runs off the end of Greek Street, past the town hall, but I can't find a Sandy Brow. Was it perhaps a local name for a street with a different formal name? There are a couple of Brows over to the east of Lower & Middle Hillgate - Lavender Brow & Gorsey Brow. Perhaps this would be the area, but just not shown on the map I have.
