Trafford is a metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester, England. It has a population of about 220,000 and includes the towns of Altrincham, Sale, Stretford and Urmston.
The grounds of Manchester United and Lancashire County Cricket Club are at Old Trafford.
Trafford is also home to the Trafford Centre, northwest-Britain's largest indoor shopping complex, and the Imperial War Museum North, which faces Salford's Lowry centre across the Manchester Ship Canal.
