Extension

Altrincham became an urban district council in 1895 and a new town hall was built in Market Street five years later to the designs of the Manchester architects Hindle and Davenport in the Jacobean style. The building was enlarged in 1930, at a cost of £7,000, to find accommodation for the growing number of departments necessitated by the increased population and the additional work of the Council. Mr. Hindle prepared the plans for the important extension but owing to his death before the scheme could be commenced, the plans were taken over by Mr. F. H. Brazier and the undertaking was completed under his direction. [Bygone Altrincham page 137-138].
