Sky Hook at Trafford Park
Image: © Gerald England Taken: 21 Aug 2017
One of a pair of 56-foot high sculptures named Skyhooks, it stands at the eastern end of Trafford Park, in front of the Trafford Park Telephone Exchange building, at the junction of Trafford Wharf Road and Trafford Road. They were designed by Brian Fell and installed in 1995, as a metaphor to represent for the regeneration of the old dockland area. The second one Image is located on the other side of the old Telephone Exchange near Wharf End. Behind is one of the two huge warehouses built in 1925 and 1932 for the Liverpool Warehousing Company. The company operated from 70 Pall Mall in Liverpool and for many years they were the largest firm of warehouse keepers in the UK with cotton as their predominant commodity.
