I am in Altrincham on Saturday. I'm hoping there's something there to see apart from the shops.
Does anyone know of any Fortean-type places or things to see, either there or reasonably close by? |

| Dunno about Altrinham, but there's supposedly some good places in nearby Alderley Edge, Roman remains and such like |

Saturday should bring out a fair crop of orange-faced Ladies who Lunch.
Otherwise, I can't think of many spooky things, unless you've a yen to
visit that grotty back alley where those weird boys acted out their suicide-
murder fantasy. (FT 186, p.04)
Just outside Altrincham, there is Dunham Massey, a stately home with
an impressive park. I'm fairly sure it has a ghost.
In the town, there is a Victorian covered market and near it a small flea-market which
is usually full of curios. Allow yourself an hour to buzz around the charity
shops which are good for old books, sheet-music and records.
For lunch itself, nearby Hale is probably better. I wish I could remember the
name of the posh little department store whose upstairs tearooms do splendid
sandwiches and salads. But Hale isn't large so you can't really miss it.
Happy hunting!
