Stretford & Humphrey Park

Stretford & Humphrey Park ward lies in the borough of Trafford, directly southwest of Manchester city centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing alongside more modern developments. It is bordered by the Bridgewater Canal to the north and the River Mersey to the south, providing distinct green boundaries. The ward contains Longford Park, a significant public green space with sports facilities and historical features.

A key local landmark is the former Lancashire County Cricket Club ground on Talbot Road, a site of major sporting history now undergoing redevelopment. Retail needs are largely served by Stretford Mall and the surrounding streets. The area is well-connected by the A56 road and has Metrolink tram stops at Stretford and Longford, facilitating travel into Manchester.
