a vibrant inner city having a population of about 220,000 people.
Trafford is also home to Manchester United, the world-famous
football club, which has its stadium at Old Trafford, while
a short walk away is another much-revered sporting venue, Lancashire
County Cricket Club, the home of test matches for more than
100 years .But the story does not stop here. Trafford is continuing
to develop and produce exciting new projects - in early 2002,
the new Imperial War Museum (North) came up on the banks of
the Manchester Ship Canal.
It may be worthwhile to mention a few more features of the Old
Trafford Stadium, situated in Trafford Park, five minutes walk
from Salford Quays. It is the first purpose built museum concerning
British Football covering the story of United since its beginning
in 1878 and home to more than 400 exhibits including Shirts,
Trophies, Tickets, Programmes and International caps. Ground
tours including the Dressing rooms and the walk down the player's
tunnel to view the pitch and stadium are available. An important
landmark of the city is the Trafford Centre opened in 1998 five
miles west of Manchester city centre at junctions 9 and 10 of
the M60. The centre is an awesome spectacle that boasts one
million square feet of retail space and 325,000 square feet
of catering and leisure facilities. It offers a dazzling array
of shops and restaurants, a 1,600 seat food court, a 20-screen
cinema and a bowling alley. This consumer fantasy land is easily
accessible with parking for 10,000 cars and 350 coaches. A clean,
safe shopping environment is assured with comprehensive CCTV
coverage and an automatic number plate recognition system. Undoubtedly
the jewel in Trafford's crown is the magnificent glass pyramid
roof that bathes the central escalators in warm light. A massive
light feature weighing 20 tonnes and measuring 20 x 20m lies
underneath to diffuse the light and protect the merchandise.
It took two months to assemble and paint off the site and six
