The Assembly Rooms as the building was originally named, were a gift to the village of Bowdon from the family of Spencer Henry Bickham, a wealthy silk manufacturer who lived nearby at Green Walk. The building was designed by Timperley born architect Frank Brookhouse Dunkerley.
During the First World War, the building served as an annexe to Altrincham General Hospital for the treatment of injured officers from Britain and the Colonies, and accommodated 48 beds. Apart from that period, it has served its original function, The Bowdon Rooms is now a premier events and wedding venue and one of Altrinchams most loved buildings.
The British Architect journal described the building as “one of the best examples of assembly hall design we have met with”, and mentioned the following practical features – a porte cochere large enough to provide shelter for a carriage, “a capital supper-room to seat 200 (with kitchen)”, and an American maple floor laid on patent ‘Valtor’ springs which could be made rigid in five minutes.
