The question should be, is Manchester in Lancashire or Greater Stockport?

Lancashire.
The main county cricket ground is in Old Trafford.
Hang on, is that Stretford?

Hi do you guys consider Stockport to be in Greater Manchester or Cheshire? we consider it to be Cheshire, but really we're currently in Greater Manchester, and many are not happy with it.

Stockport is in the Greater Manchester Metropolitan County for ADMINISTRATION purposes only Note that the LGA 1972 did not do anything to the historic Counties of Britain. It only abolished the administrative counties and county boroughs. The Government was (and stillis) happy to confirm that the Counties themselves were unaffected: "The new county boundaries are solely for the purpose of defining areas of ... local government. They are administrative areas, and will not alter the traditional boundaries of Counties, nor is it intended that the loyalties of people living in them will change "(DoE Statement, 1st April 1974). t is usually recommended that for Local & Family History the Historic Counties are used, as confusion can arise by trying to keep up with all the changes to Administrative Areas.

The worst you can say is you live in greater manchester but you still have your SK postcode. Better than us lot over the border who live outside the old bradford city limits who are run from that city and are lumbered with its BD postcode. All the towns stuck under them want away from it with our local tory MP using it as his main election promise and therefore got re elected. Feelings are higher over here than anywhere about reversing the decisions of 1974.

After the creation of these greater metropolitan counties in the 70s, including 'Greater Manchester', the Post Office still franked letters 'Stockport, Cheshire'. If anyone retorts by querying why there is a Lancashire Hill in Stockport, just remember it is the impressive sweep leading to the even more impressive estate owned by Dosser, wherein is his regal mansion. Below is a picture of Dosser lording it over us all.
