Strolling along Stockport Road this morning, between the post office and the Texaco garage/ Co-op, I noticed this posted up in the window of a vacant shop, which most recently was a business called Fab Floors.

Looks like a new micropub to me. These are a bit of a recent trend, and they are springing up all over the place. They tend to set up in former shops, and take advantage of the relatively low rents and overheads, compared with a full-size traditional pub. Could be just what that part of Marple needs.
