The History of Davenport House Clinic
Davenport House was built in 1858 and we have recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. The house stands proud at the top of Cheetham Hill Road with beautiful views to the hills and towards Stalybridge Industry. Davenport House’s gardens would originally have extended to Buckley Street, but over the years land was sold off to members of the family, and the original stables demolished. The stableman’s window, although now bricked up, can still be seen under the house.
Davenport House was historically used as a doctor’s surgery and the side door alongside the car park would have been where patients would have entered. In the cellar, below the house, the original stone table where the doctor would have held post mortems can still be seen.
It is often suggested that the slab is so large that the house must have been built around the table.

The treatment rooms in Davenport House Clinic can only be described as stunning. Set in a mid 19th Century house on the border of Stalybridge and Dukinfield, the rooms are spacious, light and airy, with many original features. Davenport House is as unique as the treatment and care you will receive. The large rooms lend themselves to ensuring your chiropody, podiatry, or physiotherapy treatments are as comfortable as possible.
