Chester Road looking north towards Manchester
“The first Flashback Friday photo located within the boundary of Trafford Council !”
The top photo was taken in January 2007 and was kindly provided by Chris Burnett of Chris Burnett Associates.
It shows the view from Chester Road looking north towards Manchester (importantly I think this could be the first Flashback Friday photo located within the boundary of Trafford Council !)
The bottom photo was taken a few days ago and shows some of the major change that has taken over the past 20 years (in particular, the last 10 years).
