Altrincham Town Hall
[7] In this context, the new council decided to procure a new town hall: the site selected on the corner of Market Street and Dunham Road was occupied by a private property equipped with coach house and stables.[8] A design competition for the new building was assessed by John Ely, President of the Manchester Association of British Architects, and won by Charles Albert Hindle.[10] Further population growth, in part driven by the construction and expansion of the facilities operated the Linotype and Machinery Company,[11] led to the area becoming a municipal borough with the town hall as its headquarters in 1937.[14] A statue depicting a market trader which had been sculpted by Colin Spofforth was unveiled outside the town hall by the Mayor of Trafford, Councillor Bernard Sharp, on 9 May 2008;[15][16] a commemorative stone celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II was erected there in spring 2012[17] and, following a crowdfunding campaign, a six-foot aluminium silhouette of a First World War soldier was installed outside the town hall in November 2018.[18] Works of art in the town hall include a painting by Tom Colley depicting troops loyal to the pretender to the throne, Charles Edward Stuart, seeking accommodation at The Red Lion Inn at Altrincham on 1 December 1745 during the Jacobite rising.
