Woodley is a suburb of Stockport on the edge of Tameside, connecting the Stockport area with the Tameside towns of Hyde and Dukinfield along Mill Lane and Hyde Road. The housing is predominantly post-war semis and detached, built across the residential streets of Woodley between the 1950s and 1970s. Some earlier properties exist close to the original village centre. The area is residential in character and home to a large population of long-term homeowners who are increasingly looking for stairlift solutions to help them remain in the homes they have lived in for decades.
