Trafford Plaza, Seymour Grove, Stretford
One of a cluster of substantial post-war office blocks in the Old Trafford area, perhaps part of a drive to attract business in the face of ailing industry. There is a local station, and the nearby A56 runs, in one direction, to what was the Stretford by-pass when it opened in 1960 (now the M60), and, in the other direction, to central Manchester.
This one bears the recent imprint of ubiquitous local property developers, Bruntwood, whose website states that it was built in 1973. It appears to have been re-clad and I'm guessing the name is a modern concoction.

Addison Crescent Home Zone, Old Trafford
The Home Zone concept, called woonerf, was pioneered in the 1970s in the Netherlands, since then many countries have successfully transferred the core concepts and created their own safe areas. A home zone is a living street (or group of streets) as implemented in the United Kingdom, which are designed primarily to strike a balance between vehicular traffic and everyone else who uses the street, the pedestrians, cyclists, business people, children and other residents.
At present there is no specific legislation supporting Home Zones in the UK. However the government has given its support to nine pilot Home Zone schemes across England and Wales and the Scottish Parliament will be initiating 3 pilots in Scotland. In addition to the pilot schemes there are many other local areas which are setting up and working towards the Home Zone ideals.
The Addison Crescent Estate contains 256 households. The aims are to build safer communities, to improve the quality of life for children and young people, to enable sustainable economic and community regeneration and to tackle social exclusion through empowerment and community building.
