This page gives details of the Cheshire and Lancashire maps in the area now covered by the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford. This straddles the old border between Lancashire and Cheshire, including areas from both counties. The area includes the busy towns of Altrincham and Sale, as well as areas such as Trafford and Stretford which are on Manchester's doorstep. Hopefully this page will give an idea of our growing coverage and help you decide which maps you require.
Each map includes an introduction to the history of the area; many of these are by the well known local historian Chris Makepeace, who has given great support to this series since its early days. Chris also runs a stall at many local history events, where a comprehensive range of our maps is displayed.
