Four Heatons

The Four Heatons are four neighbourhoods, Heaton Chapel, Heaton Mersey, Heaton Moor and Heaton Norris, which form a suburban area of Stockport in North West England. North of the River Mersey, they were historically in Lancashire.
It is a commuter zone, with greenbelt and a conservation area, and is coterminous with the SK4 postcode district.
The opening of railway stations, at Heaton [Norris railway station|Heaton Norris] in 1840 and Heaton [Chapel railway station|Heaton Chapel] in 1853, resulted in the suburbanisation of the Four Heatons.
The area is home to various retailers, as well as bars, delis, independent music venues and a privately owned single-screen cinema.
