'Altrincham' (pronounced: [ˈɒltɹɪŋˌəm], ''"Oltringum"'') is a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, in Greater Manchester, England.[1] Situated in the historic county boundaries of Cheshire, Altrincham lies approximately eight miles (12.9 km) southwest of Manchester City Centre and has a population of around 67,000. The Bridgewater Canal runs through the Broadheath part of the town.
Altrincham was established as a market town in 1290, though most medieval communities were based around agriculture rather than trade. The historic market in Altrincham, established 800 years ago, continues today. The town continued to grow, but prosperity came with the completion of the Altrincham section of the Bridgewater Canal in 1776, and the completion of the railway in 1849, precipitating the arrival of industry to the town, as well as its growth as a commuter town. Broadheath developed as an industrial area due to its location near the canal and railway.
Today, the town encompasses many smaller villages and the grounds of Dunham Massey Hall—formerly the home of the Earl of Stamford—a tourist attraction with three Grade I Listed Buildings and a deer park. Altrincham is also the home of Altrincham F.C. and Manchester Phoenix, an elite ice hockey club.
History
The name Altrincham first appears as "Aldringeham" - probably meaning "Homestead of the Aldhere's people".[2] It has been, and continues to be, mis-spelled as "Altringham".
There is evidence in the Altrincham area of activity in the prehistoric and Roman eras. Two Neolithic arrowheads have been found in Altrincham. Running through Broadheath in Altrincham is a Roman road that links the Roman fortress of Chester (Deva) and the fort of York (Eboracum); the road was used for a long time as repair work had been carried out. Although Altrincham was not mentioned in the Domesday Book the surrounding manors were owned by the Saxon Thegn Alweard before the Norman invasion and later by Hamon de Massey.[3]
The first documented evidence of Altrincham was in 1290 when it was granted its Royal Charter as a Free Borough by Baron Hamon de Massey V. The Charter allowed Altrincham to hold a weekly fair. As there is no reference to Altrincham before the granting of its Charter, it has been postulated that the town was established by Hamon de Massey to generate income through tolls, dues and taxes from trade. This would mean that Altrincham was a planned market town, which was unusual although not uncommon during the medieval period as most though communities were agricultural market towns were as a source of revenue for lords of the manor. The town had 120 burgage plots in 1348—ownership of land that can be used as a measure of status and importance in an area—putting it on a par with Macclesfield and above Stockport and Knutsford.
With the extinction of the Massey family in 1340, the lands of Altrincham passed to the Earl of Stamford. Though the Earl was in charge overall, in the 15th century the government of Altrincham fell to a court leet. Altrincham Fair became St James's Fair or Samjam in 1319 and was only abolished as late as 1895. Fair days had their own court of Pye Powder (a corruption of the French for 'dusty feet') which was presided over by the mayor and held to settle disputes arising from the day's dealings.[4]
In the English Civil War, men from Altrincham fought for the Parliamentarian Sir George Booth. During the war, armies camped several times on nearby Bowdon Downs. Just over one century later, the troops of Bonnie Prince Charlie gathered in the Old Market Place on December 1 1745 in preparation for battle with the English.[5]
Seamons Moss Bridge over the Bridgewater Canal.
The creation of the Bridgewater Canal, passing through Altrincham, provided a water route into Manchester and, when the canal was completed 1776, to the sea. In 1767, there were warehouses alongside the canal in Broadheath; the presence of the warehouses was the first step for the industrialisation of the town and the development of Broadheath as an industrial area.
In July 1845, the Act of Parliament allowing for the construction of the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJAR) was passed. At 8.00am, July 20, 1849, the first railway train left Altrincham carrying 65 passengers. The MSJAR had two stations in the town: Altrincham on Stockport Road, and Bowdon (but not in Bowdon) on Lloyd Street/Railway Street. They were both closed in 1881, and replaced by Altrincham & Bowdon station on Stamford New Road. Broadheath Railway Station, at the northern edge of the town, on the London and North Western Railway line, was opened in 1854. The Cheshire Midland Railway (later the Cheshire Lines Committee) opened from Altrincham to Knutsford on 12 May 1862. Rail travel times to Manchester in 1887 averaged 30 minutes.[6] The areas in and around Altrincham became very desirable places for rich businessmen to live. Between 1851 and 1881 the population increased from 4488 to 11,250. By 1901, less than 20% of workers were employed in agriculture.
The industrial area of Broadheath, spanning an area of 250 acres (101 ha), was founded by the Earl of Stamford in 1885 for the purpose of attracting businesses. By 1900, Broadheath had its own docks, warehouses and electricity generating station. The site’s proximity to rail, canal and road proved attractive to companies making machine tools, cameras and grinding machines. The presence of Tilghmans Sand Blast Co Ltd and the Linotype and Machinery Company established Broadheath as an industrial area of national standing. By 1914, there were 14 companies operating in Broadheath, employing thousands of workers. One of those was the Budenberg Gauge Company. A direct result of the industrialisation of Broadheath was a population boom and the creation of `172 workers’ homes by Linotype near the factory; between 1891 and 1901 the population of Altrincham increased from 12,440 to 16,831.
In 1931, the MSJAR line was electrified, one of the first electrified railway lines in Great Britain. At the same time a further Altrincham station was opened on that line, at Navigation Road, to serve the housing developments in the area. By 1937, there were 130 train services daily between Manchester and the stations in Altrincham.
Governance
Civic history
Arms of the former Altrincham Municipal Borough Council
Since 1290 Altrincham was a Free Borough, a self governing township. This remained the case until the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835 which did not recognise the town as a borough. Altrincham’s growing population led to unsanitary conditions in the town and the Public Health Act of 1848 led to the creation of Altrincham’s Board of Health in 1851 to address this problem, ahead of the rest of Trafford. The borough was abolished under the Municipal Corporations Act 1882 in 1886.
An urban district council in the administrative county of Cheshire was established for Altrincham under the Local Government Act 1894. The district was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1937. With the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, the administrative counties and municipal boroughs were abolished and Altrincham became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester on April 1, 1974.
Political representation
Altrincham was in the parliamentary constituency of Altrincham and Sale from 1945 until 1997. Altrincham has been part of the parliamentary constituency of Altrincham and Sale West since 1997. Since its formation the constituency has been represented in the House of Commons by the Conservative MP, Graham Brady. At the 2005 General Election, in Altrincham and Sale West the Conservatives won a majority of 7,159 and 46.4% of the vote. Labour won 30.3% of the vote, Liberal Democrats 21.7% and the United Kingdom Independence Party 1.7%.[7] This is one of only a small number of seats in the northwest held by the Conservative Party, and the only one in Greater Manchester.
The town of Altrincham is within Trafford Metropolitan Borough; Trafford Council is responsible for the administration of local services, such as education, social services, town planning, waste collection and council housing. Altrincham is divided into seven electoral wards: Altrincham, Bowdon, Broadheath, Hale Central, Hale Barns, Timperley, and Village. These wards have 21 out of the 63 seats on the Trafford Council; as of the 2007 local elections 17 of these seats were held by the Conservative Party and 4 by the Liberal Democrats.
The councillors for the Altrincham ward are:
★ Councillor Alex Williams (Conservative).[8]
★ Councillor Mrs Susan Williams (Conservative): Leader of the Council.[9]
★ Councillor Michael Young (Conservative): Chairman of Accounts and Audit Committee.[10]
Geography
The Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, highlighting Altrincham in red.
The local geology consists of sand and gravel deposited during the last ice age. In common with much of Cheshire, the bedrock of Altrincham is mainly sandstone.[12] The climate of Altrincham is generally temperate, with few extremes of temperature or weather. The mean temperature is slightly above average for the United Kingdom; whereas annual rainfall and average amount of sunshine is slightly below the average for the UK.[13]
Divisions and suburbs
Altrincham is one of the four major urban areas in Trafford, the other three being Sale, Stretford and Urmston. The Altrincham area,[14] as defined by Trafford MBC, comprises the south of Trafford. In addition to the town of Altrincham, it includes the villages of Timperley, Bowdon, Hale and Hale Barns. The Broadheath area of the town was a light industrial centre until the 1970s, but is now a retail park. The most densely populated part of the town is around the town centre, with the less populated areas and more green space further from the centre of town in villages such as Bowdon and Hale.[15][16][17]

Culture
Landmarks and attractions
Dunham Massey Deer Park
Altrincham Market
There are several local beauty spots in and around the town, including the 18th century Dunham Massey Hall[48] (owned by the National Trust) with its deer park. The hall, stables, and carriage house of Dunham Massey are all Grade I Listed Buildings. The hall itself is early Georgian and the deer park spans 250 acres (101 ha).[49] Another one of Altrincham's attractions is the historic market, set up over 800 years ago when the town was first established.
Stamford Park is a 16 acre (6 ha) park designed by landscape gardener John Shaw. It was opened to the public in 1880, as a sports park with areas for cricket and football. It is now owned and run by Trafford Council. The land was donated by George Grey, the 7th Earl of Stamford. The park has a Grade II listing on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[50][51]
The clock outside the main transport interchange was built in 1880, and has been a Grade II listed building since 1985.[52]
Royd House was built between 1914 and 1916 by local architect Edgar Wood as his own residence. It has a flat concrete roof and a concave façade and is faced in Portland red stone and Lancashire brick.[53] It is regarded as one of the most advanced examples of early 20th century domestic architecture and is referenced in several architectural digests. The house has been a Grade I Listed Building since 1975, and is one of only six Grade I Listed Buildings in Trafford.[54][55]
Cultural events and venues
Altrincham benefits from a couple of theatres, namely the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse and the Club Theatre. The Altrincham Garrick Playhouse was formed in 1913. The Garrick held the world stage premier of Psycho in 1982. In 1998, the Playhouse received a grant of £675,000 from the National Lottery as part of a £900,000 redevelopment of the theatre which was completed in 1999.[56] The Club Theatre dates back to 1896 when it was called The St Margaret’s Church Institute Amateur Dramatics Society and is smaller than the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse. The Club Theatre provides a venue for the Trafford Youth Theatre every year. The Club has received awards from both the Greater Manchester Drama Federation and the Mid-Cheshire Theatre Guild.[57] The Club also runs the Hale One Act Festival which has been in existence since 1972. The Hale One Act Festival is a week long festival and an annual event.[58] Greater Manchester's only Michelin starred restaurant is in Altrincham, the Juniper.[59]
Sports
Altrincham F.C., nicknamed “The Robinsâ€, was founded in 1903 and play at Moss Lane in the Football Conference. Altrincham won the Football Conference in the first two seasons after it was founded (then the Alliance Premier League). The club has since had mixed fortunes; after relegation to the Northern Premier League in 1997 it earned promotion two years later but was immediately relegated again.[60] In both the 2005-6 and 2006-7 seasons, the club avoided relegation only as a result of other teams being deducted points, or expelled from the Conference. As of the 2005–6 season, Altrincham play in the Conference National, the top division of the Football Conference.[61][62]
Manchester Phoenix play professional ice hockey in the Elite Ice Hockey League, at the Altrincham Ice Dome. The club was formed in 2003 and was a founder member of the Elite League. Its original home was the MEN Arena, but due to the cost of using that venue play was suspended for the 2004–5 and 2005–6 seasons until a new ice facility could be constructed.[63] The club's new home at Altrincham Ice Dome has a capacity of 2,500.[64] When not being used by Phoenix the Altrincham Ice Dome is open to the public for ice skating.[65]
Founded in 1897,[66] Altrincham Kersal RUFC plays rugby union in North One, the competition below the National Leagues, and is amongst the top 80 clubs in England. Altrincham has been promoted five times in the past ten seasons. The club has produced England and Sale Sharks players Mark Cueto and Chris Jones and continues to produce players for the Sale Jets.[67] Altrincham and District Athletics Club was founded in 1961, and provides training facilities for track and field, road running, cross-country running and fell running.[68] Seamons Cycling Club was formed in 1948, in the area of Altrincham known locally as Seamons Moss.[69]
Education
There are 18 primary schools and 8 secondary schools in the Altrincham area, including 5 grammar schools; the Trafford district maintains a selective education system assessed by the Eleven Plus exam.

Transport
Altrincham railway station
Altrincham railway station is the southern terminus of one of the lines of the Manchester Metrolink light rail system, which connects it with the centre of Manchester and locations in Greater Manchester such as Sale and Bury. The Metrolink service also serves the Navigation Road railway station. Metrolink services leave around every six minutes between 7:15am and 18:30pm, and every 12 minutes at other times of the day.[88] National Rail services link Altrincham and Navigation Road stations with Chester via Northwich, and with Manchester via Stockport. Altrincham Interchange, next to the railway station, is also a hub for many local bus routes. Manchester Airport, the largest in the UK outside London, is 4 miles (6 km) to the southeast of the town.
Present day
Altrincham is now mainly residential. The historic market town developed as a residential area in the 19th century and has its Old Market Place and a new pedestrianised shopping centre. The town has more recently fallen victim to decline with shoppers abandoning the area for the nearby Trafford Centre and a regenerated Manchester city centre.[89][90] However the empty shop facilities and run down sections of the town, will soon be subject to a large-scale regeneration plan.
Current redevelopment
The Trafford Revised Unitary Development Plan,[91] which guides and controls all development in Altrincham, was adopted in June 2006. In 2006 Trafford Council unveiled plans for a £1.5 million face lift for the town centre.[92] The most noticeable current development is the £40m redevelopment of Altrincham's Stamford Shopping Centre, scheduled for completion in September 2009. The plans for the site will bring in new retailers, allow existing retailers to expand, and create a new streetscape. The redevelopment will create 146,000 square feet (13,564 m²) of new retail space and 203,000 square feet (18,859 m²) of refurbished space, providing 349,000 square feet (32,423 m²) in total.[93][94]
Another development costing approximately £150m and nicknamed 'Station Location' is scheduled for completion in 2011. The 4.5 acre site, bordered by Oakfield Road, Moss Lane and the railway station platform, will include an extreme sports centre, an ice rink (the home of Manchester Phoenix ice hockey club) with a 3,000 seat capacity, an 85 bedroom hotel, two new public squares, restaurants, shops, flats, 25,000 square feet (2,323 m²) of office space and a 960 space car park. A temporary ice rink was opened in February 2007, near to the site, to house Manchester Phoenix until the new, larger rink, is completed.[95][96][97]
Notable people
Altrincham has been home to notable people, both past and present.
