Brief History...
The Cornerstones is a large Victorian building
elegantly presented both inside and out, with great
care taken to retaining the character of its age.
Built in 1872 by Sir William Cunliff Brooks, Lord of
the Manor and son of Samuel Brooks. He became MP for
Altrincham and Sale (1886-92). His many benefactions to
Sale include the fountain on Ashton Lane, and Brooks's
Institute on Carrington Lane
