Description
Altrincham Through Time by Steven Dickens is a fascinating exploration of the history and development of this market town in Greater Manchester. The town's name, Altrincham, has its roots in Old English, referring to the homestead of Aldhere's people. Although the Romans passed through Altrincham on their way to Chester, there is no evidence they ever settled here. Over the centuries, Altrincham's history has been shaped by various influential families, including the de Masseys and the Earls of Stamford, who played a significant role in its development. This book presents a unique perspective on Altrincham's past, using a collection of photographs to illustrate how the town has changed over time.
