An old market town, about ten miles south-west of Manchester, since 1974 falling within the Trafford Metropolitan Borough of Greater Manchester, though formerly in Cheshire. Altrincham Market has been retailing since 1290. Although not named in the Domesday Survey of 1086, a number of neighbouring areas, then in the ownership of Alfward, included present day Dunham, Ashley and Baguley. After the Norman invasion the lands were given to Hamo of Masci, (from whom are descended the Masseys - hence Dunham Massey) whose base was initially a wooden castle at Dunham. By 1286, one of his descendants, another Hamo, had been granted a Royal Charter making Altrincham into a borough. By 1348 the Black Death had all but decimated the area. In 1750 the estate passed into the possession of the Stamford family. By the end of the 18th century Altrincham had developed a thriving cotton and worsted trade and with the arrival of the railway it experienced an exponential growth in population and wealth. In 1937 Altrincham became a Municipal Borough. From the 1970s Altrincham's industries went into severe and rapid decline and the area is now predominantly residential in nature, as well as being a sought after dormitory town for Manchester
