A World War Two Tank in Desert Paint

This is parked outside the War Museum. Just hope he didn't have to pay £4 pounds like I had to pay. Ha Ha.

The Imperial War Museum

This is the entrance to the Imperial War Museum on Trafford Wharf, Not sure I like the Architecture. What do you think?

Mode Wheel

When large boats came up the canal there was no where to turn to go back down. Until
they went through Mode Wheel Locks. They then could turn round and head back down the canal bow first. The view is shown looking down the canal towards Proctor & Gamble the soap and washing powder giant.

A stroll down Trafford Wharf

This is the Lowery Bridge. This Modern Bridge goes up and down like a lift. So eliminating the old swing bridge system. Under the bridge was the way to the old Salford Docks which are now defunct.

The Ecology Park

Another view of the lake where surprising wild life has returned such as water fowl, foxes and woodland creatures abound.
Part of the wood and walks in the park.

This is Trafford Park Lake now a Ecology Park.

When the De Traffords sold their Ancestral Park to a Consortium of Industrialists for £360 000. The lake was eleven acres big. As it got contaminated with industrial waste it shrunk. It use to be be a boating and fishing place for the general public.
