Trafford Park Hotel, Trafford Park, Manchester
Following the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1895, Trafford Park, the ancestral home of the de Trafford family since medieval times, was transformed into the World's first, planned, industrial estate. In among all the great factories that formed the industrial estate a "workers" village was built along American lines of a gridlike pattern of "Avenues" and "Streets". This hotel was opened for visitors in 1902, on the corner of Third Avenue and a road now known as Village Way.

Built in 1914 as the primary school for Trafford Village, a role that ceased with the disappearance of residential properties in the area. It has been converted to office accommodation. The architecture is remarkably modern for the period.

Third Avenue shops, Trafford Village
The shops, church and Village Inn pub are the only surviving functional elements of the original Trafford Village, the former residential area within the Trafford Park Estate.
At the height of the estate, there would be 30 or so trams, later buses, lined up in this street ready to take workers back to Manchester and Salford.

St Antony's Church - Inside the Tin Tabernacle (8)
The De-Trafford family had a Catholic chapel at Barton. It is now widely believed that before the demolition of the small chapel, the artefacts were donated to St Antony's; hence there is a mix of stained glass windows.
