Not far from the Trafford Centre, on the edge of Trafford Park, by the side of the Bridgewater Canal. This centre is a small part of a much larger area now given over to units such as these. During the first half of the Twentieth Century Trafford Park was a major industrial area devoted, in the main, to heavy industry and large factories employing thousands of people.
