Stretford info
Stretford is a mainly working
working class town in Greater Manchester, UK.
It is perhaps most famous in the wider world because
of an association with Manchester United Football
Club, which calls one end of its Old Trafford
ground "Stretford End".
Stretford was also the birth place of the pop
singer Morrissey and Jay Kay and Ian Curtis of
Joy Division. In terms of amenities, it features
The Arndale Centre, a small and dreary (by UK
standards) shopping precinct, as well as a preserved
art deco bingo hall and, away from the town centre,
a large sports centre. Towards Chorlton is Longford
Park, once the home of John Rylands. Its hall
was demolished in the 1990s after an unsuccessful
attempt to save it from demolition. It's also
home to a grammar school. However, much of its
area is devoted to urban sprawl. Unlike most of
its neighbours, Stretford is not blessed with
its pubs. Most are large estate pubs like the
Melville, Gorse Hill and Quadrant. At Great Stone
Road, the B & Q store was once the Hardrock/village
rock venue which during the seventies hosted most
of the decade's major artists in their prime such
as Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Bob Marley, Elton
John and Deep Purple.
Politically Stretford is part of the Trafford
Borough which stretches from Old Trafford in the
North to Altrincham in the South. In 2004 the
Conservative Party won back Trafford to a fanfare
that they were making a comeback in the cities.
It has to be noted that the Stretford/Old Trafford
area, the only parts of Trafford within the M60
Manchester circular, remain Tory free zones. Stretford
has a lack of noteworthy amenities despite being
home to the Trafford Council Town Hall and the
Greater Manchester Police Headquarters and has
been denied much needed investment, suffering
in comparison to its neighbours on all sides,
except for Tory-controlled Urmston, which receives
significantly less funding. Lazy and unimaginative
planning continues to blight Stretford. Ambitions
to transform the canalside area to develop pavement
cafe ambience have so far just seen an orange
and blue shelter cum bench overlooking the plumbing
merchants.
About Manchester
Manchester
is a city in the north-west of
England. The metropolitan borough of Manchester,
with a population of 422,302, lies at the heart
of a large conurbation called Greater
Manchester, with a population of 2,513,468.
Greater Manchester is also a
metropolitan county in England
established in 1974 which covers an area roughly
encompassing the conurbation of Manchester. It
is situated in North West England. It has borders
with the ceremonial counties of Cheshire (inc.
Warrington), Derbyshire, West Yorkshire, Lancashire
(inc. Blackburn with Darwen) and Merseyside. As
well as Manchester, the county includes major
centres such as Salford,
Bury, Bolton,
Stockport and Wigan.
Greater Manchester is not entirely built-up. Although
Manchester forms a conurbation along with Salford,
Trafford and Stockport,
other boroughs, such as Wigan
and Bury are clearly separate.
Towns in the
Manchester urban area include Salford,
Sale, Altrincham,
Cheadle, Stockport,
Ashton-under-Lyne,
and Oldham, Bury,
Rochdale, Stockport
and Stretford. Places
like Trafford and
Salford can be considered
part of the Manchester urban area in a way that
Wigan or Bolton
are not.
The term "Manchester" is often used
to refer to the entire conurbation, much as "London"
is usually used to mean Greater London, but many
of the constituent parts of Greater Manchester,
such as Salford, Wigan and Bolton, also have separate
identities. People from Manchester are called
Mancunians.
