The Larkhill Centre

The centre is used for various community based events and was partly funded by the National Lottery.
It was built close to a former school called Lark Hill, a school for ladies that reverted to a private house in 1920. The house was bought by Altirincham Council in 1947 and later demolished. The grounds are now a public park bordering the Larkhill centre. There are some interesting wood scultures in the grounds.
