Stretford is a town in Trafford immediately west of Manchester city centre, best known for the Trafford Centre shopping complex and Old Trafford cricket and football grounds. The housing is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the town centre and the Manchester border — particularly around Kings Road, Longford Road and the streets off Chester Road — and interwar semis in the Edge Lane and Davyhulme Road areas. Stretford was substantially redeveloped in the 1960s and 1970s and newer post-war housing is also prevalent in parts of the town.
