Limelight Community Hub, Old Trafford
Limelight is a new community health and well-being hub based in the heart of the Old Trafford area. In 2013, Trafford Housing Trust gained funding to build 80 Extra Care apartments in the Old Trafford area. Working in collaboration with Trafford Council, the Trust took the opportunity to redevelop the Old Community Centre also known as The Library on Shrewsbury Street.
The new Limelight development was designed in two phases; the first phase was to demolish the community centre and to re-site St Brides Church to an empty plot of land on St Brides Way. The Church was completed in 2016 and was officially opened on Mother’s Day 2016.
The second phase of the Limelight development includes 81 Extra Care apartments for older and vulnerable people and a day nursery, pharmacy, hair and beauty hub, café, library, meeting room facilities for hire and healthcare facilities.

188 Ayres Road, Manchester
Representative of the housing in this area of Old Trafford. I snapped this one specifically because I lived in it in 1986/87 while studying at the University of Manchester. To be honest, I hardly recognise the place, but for £40 monthly rent what could one expect?
