The Society and Its Aims
What do you know about the history of your area?Want to learn more?
Altrincham History Society exists to further the study of the Altrincham area and to enable such research to be communicated to the public.
Members enjoy a series of talks through the year, with occasional visits, and are encouraged to become active in researching topics related to the history of the area.
The Society publishes the results of research in booklets and a yearly journal. An index to the Society's Publications is available to Download.
Altrincham today is very much a modern town, with recent developments involving many changes but, beneath the streets and behind the buildings, there is a story to be told.

Meetings
Programme for 2024/25
Altrincham History Society meets monthly from September to May, on the second Tuesday of the month, starting at 7.30pm.
Meetings from September 2024 are at a new venue, Altrincham Conservative Club on Market Street, just a few yards from the former venue at the Town Hall.
Please note that the new venue is NOT the old Working Men's Club, which is now the wine bar/restaurant called The Con Club on Greenwood Street.
We have booked this new venue up until the December 2024 meeting, while we await a decision about the use of the Town Hall.
There is parking at the rear of the Conservative Club and a level entrance there.
Car access is from the Regent Road end of Market Street.
A map showing the location is below...
