An interactive sound installation and SoundWalk which invite you to listen in, as a conflict between the River Goyt and the forces that shape it reverberates through the vast network of tunnels hidden beneath Stockport’s streets.

Sound Installation
Currents from the Power Station
Set within the underground spaces of Stockport Air Raid Shelter, the sound sculpture channels the electric pulse of the former power station. The currents form a score of an industrial past that has never properly been “cleaned up” and still resonates today through the course of the river and the hidden underground tunnels that fed the power station.
Featuring six touch-activated copper trumpets, their stems shaped to represent the network of tunnels, each uncovers a chapter in the turbulent relationship between the power station and the River Goyt.
The sound installation will be on display at the Air Raid Shelter 19 February – 22 March, 2026. Admission is FREE, with advanced booking required. Click the button below to book your time slot.
