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 book charts this development to 2002, illustrating the story with photographs.

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.

About the Authors

Both Vicki Masterson and Karen Cliff work at the Trafford Local Studies Centre, have a keen interest in local history and have made a special study of the Trafford area.

“Brown” floating shelves
Color: Brown, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 60"W x 6.5"D, Color: Brown, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 60"W x 6.5"D
These shelves are great, easy to install. My only complaint is the color is not quite what I expected. I ordered “brown” and they look a little more “walnut”.

Holes in brackets are not spaced for studs!
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 67"W x 6.5"D
So the quality of this not great, but good enough and they look nice enough on the wall. However, the bracket holes are not spaced at 16" intervals. WTF? I'm not sure who designed this thing. The molly plugs that came with it look OK, but to play it safe I used a cobalt steel drill bit and made my own holes in the bracket. Easy enough with some wd40. My other pick with this is that the screws to anchor the shelf to the bracket are black and and very obvious... they should have supplied some kind of cap.
