More about this scene

Altrincham is situated only 8 miles south-south-west of Manchester, and its popularity as a residential area for business people grew with the opening of the Manchester South Junction & Altrincham Railway. By the beginning of the 20th century, the town's population of 16,800 was served by no fewer than four railway stations; Altrincham & Bowdon, Hale, Broadheath, and West Timperley.
