A short history of Altrincham
Neolithic arrowheads discovered in Altrincham point to prehistoric activity and a Roman road linking Chester and York ran through Broadheath. The name first appears as Aldringeham, probably meaning the homestead of Aldhere's people. The Saxon thegn Alweard held the surrounding manors until the Norman conquest, after which they passed to Hamon de Massey. The Domesday Book of 1086 contains no entry for Altrincham. In 1290 Baron Hamon de Massey V granted a charter making it a free borough with a weekly market. The Knoll on Stamford Street, the earliest known residence, dates from the 13th or 14th century. The Bridgewater Canal reached the town in 1765 and encouraged market gardening. The first train left on 20 July 1849. In 1885 the 8th Earl of Stamford founded the Broadheath industrial area.
