Stokes flow in a corner region driven by a weakly three-dimensional stirring mechanism at some distance from the corner is considered. It is shown that, when the stirring is antisymmetric about the bisecting plane θ = 0, the flow near the corner exhibits the same type of eddy structure as is familiar from the two-dimensional theory. When the stirring is symmetric about θ = 0 however, a non-oscillatory component is in general present (driven by conditions far from the corner), and this component dominates over the oscillatory component near r = 0.
