Blackshaws Café
Back in business after 30 years!

Established in 1860, Joseph Blackshaw’s Bakers and Confectioners was a favourite spot for local residents. Originally based at 42 Hillgate, Blackshaw’s has now been taken over by local caterers, Pure Innovations and re-located to Stockport’s historic market place as part of Staircase House.

Blackshaw’s holds particular significance in Stockport due to the Blackshaw family’s links with St Mary’s Church. Joseph Blackshaw was a warden of St Mary’s Church during the late nineteenth century, as well as being a Borough Councillor around this time. In 1897 Joseph and his brother Thomas Blackshaw, both baptised at the church, funded a new bell making St Mary’s total number of bells 10.

Blackshaw’s Café is located in Stockport's Market Place serving hot and cold snacks, lunches and drinks throughout the year.

Opening times:
Monday to Saturday: 9.30am - 5pm
Sunday: 10am - 5pm
