Click here for our low price guarantee Binding Type: Paperback Published: August 2009 Annotation: Portrayed in scores of photographs that provide fascinating glimpses of a varied past, this overview focuses on the ancient Cheshire county town of Altrincham. Characterizing the city as one of contrasts still capable of taking the unsuspecting visitor by surprise, this analysis examines the setting in a variety of contexts--as a market town in an agricultural county, a desirable dormitory for wealthy merchants from the brooding city just up the road, and an industrial center in itself, manufacturing everything from strollers to auto bodies. Capturing the flavor of this well-loved, multi-faceted community, this absorbing collection serves as the perfect introduction to a rich heritage while unlocking memories of a treasured history.
