Summary
| Description |
English: Arden Arms. At the corner of Corporation Street and Millgate.
The land on which the present pub stands was originally a market garden owned by the Raffald family, who had been florists, gardeners and seedsmen in Stockport since the sixteenth century. The garden was put to several commercial uses besides cultivation with records of a livestock market, a corn mill and also an inn, the "Blue Stoops", built in 1650. ... In 1760, John Raffald handed ownership of the garden to his brother, George Snr. and took up the position of head gardener at Arley Hall in Cheshire. ... It was John and Elisabeth's nephew, George Raffald Junior, who built the present "Arden Arms" pub in 1815. In return for ceding a portion of field to the town to widen Millgate, then a narrow ditch between buildings, he was granted the right to build a larger public house on the site of the "Blue Stoops". ... In 1889 the "Arden" was bought by Robinson's Brewery and in 1908 they set about the first and last major "modernisation" of the pub. The scheme involved the construction of the stabled courtyard to the rear and side of the building, alterations to the ground floor windows and interior work to create bench seating in the snug & vault.
