Partington
[4] The completion of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 transformed Partington into a major coal-exporting port and attracted other industries.Until 2007 Shell Chemicals UK operated a major petrochemicals manufacturing complex in Carrington, Partington's closest neighbour to the east.Shortly after the Second World War, local authorities made an effort to rehouse people away from Victorian slums in inner-city Manchester.[11] In 1755 a paper mill on the River Mersey was opened in Partington, the first factory to be established in present-day Trafford.Partington was the nearest port to the Lancashire Coalfields, and brought the south Yorkshire collieries 30 miles (48 km) closer to the sea.At 53°25′12″N 2°25′48″W / 53.42000°N 2.43000°W / 53.42000; -2.43000 (53.42, −2.43), Partington lies west of Sale, north-east of the civil parish of Warburton, and is on Trafford's northern border with the City of Salford.Sinderland Brook runs east–west through the area, and the town is about 20 m (66 ft) above sea level on generally flat ground.[33] Spanish company, SAICA, bought a lease on a disused wharfside site by the Manchester Ship Canal in 2009 to recycle paper into packaging.[35] According to the 2001 UK census, the industry of employment of residents aged 16–74 was 19.3% retail and wholesale, 15.0% manufacturing, 14.7% property and business services, 10.8% health and social work, 9.1% transport and communications, 7.2% construction, 5.2% education, 4.8% hotels and restaurants, 3.8% finance, 3.1% public administration, 1.3% agriculture, 0.7% energy and water supply, 0.1% mining, and 4.9% other.[39] Partington Central Academy, Forest Gate and Broadoak School are all a part of The Dean Trust.[41] The Department for Transport describes Partington as "geographically isolated with road access restricted by the proximity of the Manchester Ship Canal and the nearby petrochemical works [in Carrington]" and notes that there are low levels of car ownership.Based on designs by pupils from Broadoak Secondary School, the centre will provide facilities for workshops in dance, film-making, and art.[49] Headmaster of the school, Andy Griffin, said "It's a massive thing for Partington as this will help kick-start regeneration of the town.
