Altrincham: An Illustrated History Book

A FASCINATING insight into the varied and surprising events, personalities and developments that created the town of the present day, taking the story right back to the earliest records, and using an outstanding selection of photographs from the archive at Trafford Local Studies Centre. It also traces the dramatic changes that took place as the town entered the modern age and describes the people, places and events that shaped the community, showing changes in transport and fashion, development of the countryside, and the character of individual streets and districts - in particular roads and thoroughfares, houses and buildings, shops and factories that have vanished or been altered almost beyond recognition. A graphic record of the generations of people who have lived and worked in Altrincham, this book will add to the knowledge and enjoyment of all those who take an interest in the history and heritage of the town and its surrounding area.Read More
