Historically a part of Cheshire, Altrincham was established as a market town in 1290, a time when most communities were based around agriculture rather than trade, and there is still a market in the town today. Further socioeconomic development came with the extension of the Bridgewater Canal to Altrincham in 1765 and the arrival of the railway in 1849, stimulating industrial activity in the town. Outlying villages were absorbed by Altrincham's subsequent growth, along with the grounds of Dunham Massey Hall, formerly the home of the Earl of Stamford, and now a tourist attraction with three Grade I listed buildings and a deer park.

Altrincham today is a commuter town, partly because of its transport links—particularly the Metrolink. The town has a strong middle class presence; there has been a steady increase in Altrincham's middle classes since the 19th century. It is also a centre for sport, being home to Altrincham F.C. and an Elite Ice Hockey club, Manchester Phoenix.

History

The name Altrincham first appears as "Aldringeham", probably meaning "Homestead of the Aldhere's people".^[2] It has been, and continues to be, misspelled as "Altringham".

There is evidence of human activity in the area during prehistoric and Roman times. Two Neolithic arrowheads and the remains of a Roman road running through Broadheath have been discovered. The road linked the Roman fortress of Chester (Deva) with the fort of York (Eboracum), and it appears to have been in use for a considerable period of time, as it has been repaired. Until the Norman invasion, the manors surrounding present-day Altrincham were owned by the Saxon Thegn Alweard; after the invasion they became the property of Hamon de Massey.^[3][2] An array of Neolithic artifacts, including bracelets, axe heads, chisels, and polishing tools. ...

Altrincham was not mentioned in the Domesday Book. The earliest documented reference to the town was in 1290, when it was granted its Royal Charter as a Free Borough by Baron Hamon de Massey V. The charter allowed a weekly fair to be held, and it is possible that de Massey established the town to generate income through tolls, dues and taxes from trade, suggesting that Altrincham may have been a planned market town. That would have been unusual during the Middle Ages, when most communities were agricultural.^[3] Altrincham Fair became St James's Fair or Samjam in 1319 and continued until 1895. Fair days had their own court of Pye Powder (a corruption of the French for "dusty feet"), presided over by the mayor and held to settle disputes arising from the day's dealings.^[4] A line drawing entitled Domesday Book from Andrew Williamss Historic Byways and Highways of Old England. ... For the ship of the same name, see Royal Charter (ship). ...

On the extinction of the Massey family in 1340, the lands of Altrincham passed to the Earl of Stamford. By 1348, the town had 120 burgage plots—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.^[3] Though the Earl remained in charge overall, in the 15th century the government of Altrincham fell to a court leet.^[3] The title Earl of Stamford is an extinct title in the Peerage of England. ... , Macclesfield is a market town in Cheshire, England with a population of about 50,688 (2001 census for Macclesfield urban sub-area). ...

The oldest confirmed residence in Altrincham, although now demolished, was The Knoll, on Stamford Street. An excavation by South Trafford Archaeological Group in 1983 discovered evidence that the house dated from the 13th or 14th century, and that it may have contained a drying kiln or malting floor.^[5] During the English Civil War, men from Altrincham fought for the Parliamentarian Sir George Booth.

Seamons Moss Bridge over the Bridgewater Canal

The extension of the Bridgewater Canal to Altrincham in 1765 stimulated the development of market gardening, and for many years Altrincham was notable for its vegetables.^[6] When the canal was completed in 1776, it provided a water route from Manchester, through Altrincham, to the Irish Sea. By 1767, warehouses had been built alongside the canal in Broadheath, the first step in Altrincham's industrialisation and the development of Broadheath as an industrial area.^[3] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 640 × 426 pixelsFull resolution (640 × 426 pixel, file size: 141 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Seamons Moss Bridge Over the Bridgewater Canal, looking east Creative Commons Licence [Some Rights Reserved] © Copyright David Long and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons...

In July 1845, the Act of Parliament allowing for the construction of the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJAR) was passed. At 8:00 am, 20 July 1849, the first railway train left Altrincham, carrying 65 passengers. The MSJAR had two stations in the town: Altrincham on Stockport Road, and one called Bowdon—though not actually in Bowdon—on Lloyd Street/Railway Street. They were both closed in 1881, and replaced by Altrincham & Bowdon station on Stamford New Road.^[3] 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.^[7] An Act of Parliament or Act is law enacted by the parliament (see legislation). ...

In the late 1800s Altrincham became a base from which professionals and industrialists would commute to Manchester. A notable early commuter was the calico printer William Neild who travelled daily by coach from High Lawn in Bowden in the 1840s; however the less well–to–do would commute by express or 'flyer' barges from Broadheath.^[8] With the coming of the railway the areas in and around Altrincham became very desirable places for the middle classes and commuters to live.^[3][9] Between 1851 and 1881 the population increased from 4,488 to 11,250.^[3] Self propelled barge carrying bulk crushed stone A barge is a flat-bottomed boat, built mainly for river and canal transport of heavy goods. ...

The industrial area of Broadheath, spanning an area of 250 acres (1.0 km²), was founded by Harry Grey, 8th 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 by 35% from 12,440 to 16,831.^[3] The Budenberg Gauge Company was founded in 1850 by B.Schaeffer and C.F.Budenberg and is now based in Irlam, Salford. ...

In 1931, the MSJAR line was electrified (1500 V DC OLE), 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 Altrincham.^[7] // Railway electrification in Great Britain describes the various electrification systems that are used, or have been used, for supplying traction current to the railways and tramways of Great Britain. ...

There was little change in Altrincham from the turn of the 20th century to the start of World War II. Although experiencing some bombing as part of the Luftwaffe's raids on Greater Manchester, the town emerged from the war relatively unscathed and, along with the rest of Britain, experienced a boom period shortly after. This manifested itself in the construction of new housing and the rebuilding of the town centre in the 1960s.^[10] However, the boom period was followed by a depression in the 1970s, during which time employment at Broadheath fell by nearly 40%. In 1974, Altrincham became part of the newly formed Metropolitan Borough of Trafford.^[10] Combatants Allied powers: China France Great Britain Soviet Union United States and others Axis powers: Germany Italy Japan and others Commanders Chiang Kai-shek Charles de Gaulle Winston Churchill Joseph Stalin Franklin Roosevelt Adolf Hitler Benito Mussolini Hideki Tōjō Casualties Military dead: 17,000,000 Civilian dead: 33,000...

Civic history

Altrincham became a Free Borough in 1290, a self governing township. That remained the case until the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835 which did not recognise the town's borough status. 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.^[3] Arms of Altrincham Borough Council. ...

Economy

Altrincham Market

Historically, Altrincham was a market town with a small number of its population employed in agriculture. During the Industrial Revolution, Altrincham grew as an industrial town, particularly the Broadheath area, which was developed into an industrial estate. In 1801 there were four cotton mills in Altrincham, part of its textile industry, although they had closed by the 1851 census. The decline of the textile industry in Altrincham mirrored the decline of the industry in the Trafford area as a result of a lack of investment and the upsurgence of more established industrial areas such as Manchester, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Oldham.^[3] During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, heavier industries moved into Broadheath, providing local employment. The area steadily declined during the second half of the 20th century, with employment at Broadheath falling from 8,000 to 5,000 between 1960 and 1970.^[3][10] Despite the presence of retailers such as Tesco, Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer in the town, and redevelopment schemes costing over £100 million,^[23][24] Altrincham's 15.5% level of employment in retail is below the national average of 16.9%. Altrincham, with its neighbours Bowdon and Hale, is said to constitute a "stockbroker belt", with well-appointed dwellings in an area of sylvan opulence.^[25] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 640 × 426 pixelsFull resolution (640 × 426 pixel, file size: 117 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Altrincham Market Thursday is bric-a-brac day Creative Commons Licence [Some Rights Reserved] © Copyright David Long and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence. ...

The Old Market Place is thought to stand on the site of the original town settlement. Now a registered conservation area it consists of a series of part timber-framed buildings echoing the wattle and daub constructions of the original houses and burgage plots. The cobblestone paving was replaced in 1896. The Buttermarket which stood in the area near the Old Market Place from the 17th century until the late 19th century was also the site for dispensing early local justice. A courtroom, stocks and whipping post saw public floggings take place there until the early 19th century. The whipping post and stocks were restored as a tourist attraction by local traders in the 1990s. However the Buttermarket area was also a site of religious importance, since prospective brides and grooms are thought to have declared their intentions here.
