A 2026 calendar featuring fascinating scenes from Trafford’s past is available to buy from the Local Studies and Archives Centre at Waterside House, Sale.
Staff at the centre carefully chose a dozen images from the Trafford Council’s photographic archives, each depicting places, people and events of the borough in years gone by.
The calendar is now on sale at £12 at Local Studies as well as Stretford and Urmston libraries, alongside heritage Christmas cards, also featuring new images from the extensive archives.
Also about to be revealed is Trafford Local Studies and Archives’ much-anticipated annual social media advent calendar, featuring more newly digitised and unseen images from around the borough.
Cllr Eve Parker, Trafford Council’s Executive Member for Leisure, Arts, Culture and Heritage said:
“We have an amazing collection of old photos of Trafford in our collections as well as documents, plans and other artefacts.
“We love to bring this material to wider audiences wherever we can. We’re delighted to present the calendar and greetings cards, that can take pride of place in people’s homes, as well as a wealth of shareable vintage imagery on social media.”
Trafford Local Studies and Archives accepts both card and cash. The centre at Waterside House is open Monday 10am - 7pm, Tuesday 10am - 5pm, Wednesday 10am - 5pm, Thursday 10am - 5pm, Friday 10am - 5pm, Saturday 10am - 4pm, Sunday Closed.
