Altrincham| Town in Greater Manchester, England; population (2001) 10,800. It is situated 15 km/9 mi from the centre of Manchester, and was originally a market town; only a remnant of its former market gardens now survives. The town centre is one of the major outlying shopping areas for the Greater Manchester area. |
| Altrincham developed as a suburban centre after the railway line was built in 1849. Industries, notably engineering and clothing manufacture, developed later, many of them located beside the Bridgewater Canal. |
| Dunham Massey Hall, built in the 18th century and former home of the earls of Stamford, is now owned by the National Trust; it opened to the public in 1982. |
