Alkrington Garden Village is a suburban area of Middleton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England.
The "Woodside" district of Alkrington is home to a number of affluent properties with Woodfield Road, Middleton's most expensive street, being located here.
In 1212, the manor of Alkrington, consisting of four oxgangs of land, was held by Adam de Prestwich from the Montbegon fee.
About 20 years later it passed to the de Lacys, and subsequently to the Crown; but the manor continued to descend with the Prestwich family.
[3] Historically a part of Lancashire, in the Middle Ages Alkrington was a township[4] in the parish of Prestwich-cum-Oldham in the hundred of Salford.
The central three bays project slightly and have giant Ionic pilasters above the rusticated stone ground floor.
