Longford and Essoldo Cinema Stretford

There’s a new initiative in the making called The Place Station that is supporting the re development of the Longford Essoldo Cinema building in Stretford for community use. Check it out here.

The Place Station introduces owners of land and buildings across the UK to social and community entrepreneurs with ideas for transforming their local area – providing a space where people can:

• Search for land and buildings
• Add a Place they’d like to see owned and managed by the community
• Add an Idea for transforming local services
• Propose new uses for available land and buildings
• Comment on and offer to support an Idea or Proposal for a Place
• Find pro-bono supporters where they live to put their Ideas and Proposals into practice.

Vote for us  – please!

Is Stretford’s Essoldo cinema the best thing about Chester Road? Does Altrincham Market deserve more recognition for its 700 year history? Or do you prefer the views from green spots like Dunham Massey, Walkden Gardens or Davyhulme Park? Whatever you think is the most iconic landmark, your Advertiser wants to hear from you.

Our editor Paul Harrison explained: “We would like to hear from you the readers about the places dear to you.

“It could be an eye-catching building, your favourite park, a clock tower which you can always rely on to tell you the time or a sculpture that makes your town centre stand out.

“We want to incorporate the most popular images in the masthead of our two newspapers – the Sale and Altrincham Advertiser and the Stretford and Urmston Advertiser.

“Once we have a shortlist we can put the finalists out to a public vote.”

If you have a suggestion you can email us at news@myadvertiser.co.uk.

Please put ‘Stretford and Urmston landmark’ or ‘Sale and Altrincham’ landmark in the subject field. Or you can write to us at ‘Landmark’, The Advertiser (Stretford and Urmston or Sale and Altrincham) at Mitchell Henry House, Hollinwood Avenue, Chadderton, OL9 8EF.
