Four Heatons
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
The Four Heatons are four neighbourhoods, Heaton Chapel, Heaton Mersey, Heaton Moor and Heaton Norris,<ref name=stockcouncil/> which form a suburban area of Stockport in North West England. North of the River Mersey, they were historically split, with Heaton Mersey and Heaton Moor in Cheshire and Heaton Norris and Heaton Chapel in Lancashire.<ref name=stockcouncil>Template:Cite web</ref>
It is a commuter zone, with greenbelt and a conservation area,<ref name=stockcouncil/> and is coterminous with the SK4 postcode district.<ref name="association">Template:Cite web</ref>
The opening of railway stations, at Heaton Norris in 1840 and Heaton Chapel in 1853,<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> 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.<ref name=stockcouncil/><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
