  • Stretford (pop. 37,500) is a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, in Greater Manchester, England. Lying on flat ground between the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, it is 3.8 miles (6.1 km) to the southwest of Manchester city centre, 3.0 miles (4.8 km) south-southwest of Salford and 4.2 miles (6.8 km) northeast of Altrincham. Stretford is contiguous with the suburb of Chorlton-cum-Hardy to the east, and the towns of Urmston to the west, Salford to the north, and Sale to the south. The Bridgewater Canal bisects the town. Historically a part of Lancashire, during much of the 19th century Stretford was an agricultural village known locally as Porkhampton, with reference to the large number of pigs produced for the nearby Manchester market. It was also an extensive market gardening area, producing over 500 long tons (508 t) of vegetables each week for sale in Manchester by 1845. The arrival of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894, and the subsequent development of the Trafford Park Industrial Estate in the north of the town, accelerated the industrialisation which had begun in the late 19th century. By 2001, less than 1% of Stretford's population was employed in agriculture. Stretford has been the home of Manchester United Football Club since 1910, and of the Lancashire County Cricket Club since 1864. Notable residents have included the industrialist, philanthropist, and Manchester's first multi-millionaire John Rylands, the suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, the writer Dodie Smith, the painter L. S. Lowry, Morrissey of The Smiths, and Jay Kay of Jamiroquai.

  • Stretford är en stad i nordvästra England i Storbritannien med 37 500 invånare (enl cencus 2001) belägen strax väster om, och direkt angränsande till Manchester, inom det administrativa storstadsområdet Greater Manchester. Före 1971 tillhörde staden Lancashire county. Staden är känd för fotbollsarenan Old Trafford, där Manchester United spelat sina hemmamatcher sedan 1910, förutom några få år efter andra världskrigets slut, då arenan delvis var sönderbombad eftersom den låg i närheten av fabriker. Staden har ett flertal järnvägsstationer, bland annat Trafford Holt, där tåg mellan Liverpool Lime Street Station och Manchester Piccadilly Station stannar under matchdagar. Även Greater Manchesters nya snabbspårväg har en hållplats i närheten av Old Trafford. Eftersom staden inrymmer stora parkområden (vilket nästan saknas helt i Manchester) har staden blivit ett allt mer fashionabelt distrikt inom Manchester-regionen efter andra världskriget. Tidigare var staden ett industipräglat område, främst för matproduktion. Avståndet från stadens rådhus till Manchesters rådhus är omkring 6 kilometer. Staden indelas officiellt i fyra stadsdelar, Gorse Hill, Old Trafford, Trafford Park samt Firswood. Längst i söder gränsar staden till den för Liverpool berömda floden Mersey.
