Urmston info
Urmston, pop approx. 38,007 (2001),
is a middle class town in Manchester
(United Kingdom), in the Metropolitan Borough
of Trafford, and encompasses the smaller town
of Davyhulme & the village of Flixton. It
lies 6 miles (10 km) from Manchester
City Centre, on the River Mersey and the Manchester
Ship Canal. Urmston covers an area of 4,799 acres
(19 km²). The centre of Urmston is its precinct,
a shopping area which has not changed since the
60s. The shopping area is considered by some local
residents to be an eyesore and there is a big
development planned for the area. The successful
bid for the regeneration of the town centre was
won by Ask Property Developments.

connect Urmston to the rest of Greater Manchester

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.
