My dad was a construction worker at the Trafford Centre, he got the guys doing the hieroglyphics in the orient to put my name on the throne next to pizza hut. Was hoping there may have been a slight chance of seeing him somewhere on this video. R.I.P Dad ❤️
20 years ago. Wow. I remember this being built. I remember driving past it all the time.. and so many memories! and even ended up working there for a bit. So much nostalgia. Wow.
I remember somebody saying when it was being built you could go in on a Monday and come out on a friday it's going to be so big, it even has a hotel 🤣😂
I live In partington i worked in selfridges when it opened the day it opened xouldnt believe how massive it was when i went on my lunch break..miss the festival village bad ..move on now i still love it..
I miss the Festival Village, I used to go there when I was in high school. Brings back many memories, I hardly go to the Trafford Centre anymore but it was much cooler back then!
I was 5 years old maybe 6 when festival village shut... I vaguely remember some singing bears (They moved to Barton Square in 2011) and Mcdonalds... Memories... I moved from UK now, living elsewhere in Europe. I used to live half an hour away and would come here nearly every weekend.. I miss the old days...
This place is amazing, but I miss it. Because a couple of years ago, they had plently of interesting shops, but it's changed. It's still great, but yeah..
I remember the 2 icons of the singing bears and the singing christmas tree at chrismas as things that represent the trafford centre when i was a kid but sadly the bears have gone an well for the christmas tree its in a bad shape

That being said, I miss the Trafford Centre more than any other place in UK... Hopefully visiting in October..
I came to Trafford centre the first time on 2003 and I miss all the old stores
Interesting to see that Asda was there before the Trafford Center, I always thought it was the other way round.
It does look modern to be there in April 1996, you're right!
Tagan Gah my mum worked at that Asda when they started building it
The swinging bridge hotel was there before Asda btw
When was that Asda built?
No Asda be there for very long time
The Trafford Centre to me is the poshest shopping centre in have ever been to
This place isn't a shopping center it is a work of art love it reply or like if u agree
Do you mean Barton Square as well?
Yes Barton square as well
It's a tacky shithole, not a work of art.
Shoot McRunfast hey only the bus service is crap

It’s the only thing your area has got going for it. That and Trafford Park thanks to the Trafford Centre.

My uncle died constructing Trafford centre very sad :(

Tune
very nice shopping mall, reminds me of some kind of theme park! would any asbestos have been used in its construction hopefully not ?
Asbestos was not used at least a decade before the Trafford centre was built
Tom Jardine Nothat stuff is toxic.
Stretford house, tower block at the beginning lol
God that happened before I was born
@TheOblivionGirl Yeah great feeling of 'imitating' without originality, nice to shop in though
I know that song - Café Del Mar
goin there with mates 4 lazer quest later!!
Tom, come on asbestos hasn't been used in construction for decades..
er one problem the roads arnt big enough
i hate living near it
What's the song used on this video? It's so catchy!

The bears are GONE?!
TheTimeLapseGuy yep they are gone since 2016 think they should return with the Barton square redesign
Gee

Please give Barton square update.
So old
What? Weirdo
It’s timeless and very interesting architecture. It’s like something from Dubai.
