An Altrincham History Society publication. Includes information regarding the early history of the site, with a reference to the Manchester South and Altrincham Junction Railway; gas works; knackers yard, slaughter house and rubbish tip; a list of freeholders of land on Hale Moss with tables detailing some rates; engineering factories; the Ruby Cycle Co.; and a shirt factory. This appears to be a draft text as there is a section titled 'Notes to be added'.
