About

Broadheath & Firsway sit in the borough of Trafford as an area where housing and light industry meet. Broadheath contains a long-established industrial estate of small workshops, warehouses and distribution units that grew around local transport routes; many businesses there still operate from terrace-style units and compact service yards. Firsway is a predominantly residential pocket next to the estate, with local shops, a community centre and primary schooling serving nearby streets.

The neighbourhood layout gives short walking distances between homes, workspaces and local services, and road connections link the area into the wider Trafford network. Day-to-day life is shaped by the industrial estate’s rhythm — early-shift vehicles, changeable unit occupancies and tradespeople working from small yards — alongside quieter residential streets. Local projects and community groups focus on improving play spaces and street-level amenities, reflecting an emphasis on practical, local improvements rather than tourist or leisure offerings.
