This building on Old Market Place was built for William Cunliffe Brooks. Brooks (born 1819, died 1900) was a barrister, banker and Conservative politician. At the 1886 election he was elected as MP for Altrincham, holding the seat until he stood down at the 1892 general election. He was a partner in the Manchester-based banking business of Cunliffe, Brooks & Co. The business was acquired by Lloyds Bank in 1900.
