The districts of Stretford and Old Trafford are today best known for their sporting links to the football ground of Manchester United and the Lancashire county cricket ground. However, their histories are much more extensive than these (admittedly more famous) connections. With its foundation beginning alongside Watling Street and Roman Manchester, Stretford has been an important area of agricultural production, once being labelled the ‘garden of Lancashire.’Cotton weaving was an important industry and pig farming was so influential that Stretford was nicknamed ‘Porkhampton’. With the development of Trafford Park came urban growth, and Stretford received its charter in 1933. The photographs in this book detail the main changes of the last century, placing them in a broader historical context and showing the parts that trade, industry and transport have played in the development of Stretford and Old Trafford.

OVER the last 300 years Stretford has undergone dramatic change, from farming community to industrialised centre that forms the basis of today's town. This new book charts this development, illustrating the story with photographs from the unrivalled archive at Trafford Local Studies Centre. Stretford's industrial history is only part of this wide-ranging account. The social life of the town is vividly recorded, from the Botanical Gardens of 1831 to Victorian pageants and exhibitions, and Manchester United's Old Trafford football ground. Fascinating photographs of Stretford during WW2 are included, showing war damage and the war work that made the town a target for enemy bombers. The authors have delved deep into the archives of the Trafford Local Studies Centre to create this expert introduction. Their work should be essential reading for anyone who cares to understand the origins, development and traditions of present-day Stretford.
