Trafford Park & Metrovicks
I am doing a presentation about the history of Trafford Park (TP) next Tuesday 8th July at 1.30pm, Chorlton Good Neighbours, St Ninians’s Church (corner of Egerton Rd South and Wilbraham Rd), £3 for tea, coffee & biscuits
If you are interested in the topic I’d like you to try something in advance. If you can access the internet on a computer of phone, then search
This will take you to my Youtube Channel, click on ‘shorts’ then on ‘Trafford Park’ playlist. This will take you to 6 short (2 mins) videos all about Trafford park including
- 1933 Moscow trial of Manchester Metrovics Engineers (yes, they were spies!),
- When Manchester Made Trains
- Was Ernest Hooley the ‘Father of Trafford Park’ Manchester’s own Donald Trump?
Glover’s cables & WW2 Operation Pluto
I probably won’t have time to go through all these topics next Tuesday because there is a lot of other stuff to get through as well including my 60 year long wave theory of Manchester innovations that have had world wide impact
Here is a photo is of the Big screen TV we got last week at CGN which we have assembled onto a mobile trolley and will get its first trial next weekat the History Talk
