The ‘Detail Plans of the Township of Altrincham’, created in 1852 for the Local Board of Health, reveal much about the state of the town and the lives of its inhabitants and workers at that time. On this interactive page, the numbered Plots are linked to a brief description and sometimes to an image of a building or street, with further information about it.

You can also compare the 1852 Plans to the OS 1876 Plans and a modern map.
