You know Altrincham. You've walked past the Clock Tower, caught a film at The Everyman, wandered through Stamford Quarter's independent shops. Perhaps you've even escaped to Dunham Massey when you needed fresh air. But between Facebook groups, Instagram posts, and local WhatsApps, the best things get overlooked.
