Location Voiture Manchester Stretford

Stretford is a town within the English county of Greater Manchester. It is 5 kilometres away from Salford, and 7 kilometres from Altrincham. It was originally an agricultural village, which was called Porkhampton by locals because of the number of pigs reared for sale in the Manchester markets. Some of the area’s most famous people are the players of the mighty Manchester United Football Club; the home ground of Old Trafford is located in Stretford. Lancashire County Cricket Club is also in the town. The singer, Jay Kay, from Jamiroquai, is from Stretford. The large shopping centre Trafford Centre is also located nearby. The Great Stone is an interesting, but often overlooked, landmark. Other landmarks include the cenotaph, Stretford Public Hall, which is a grand looking building, Longford Park, the cemetery, and various churches. A hire car from VIP Cars is the best way to see Salford.
