The historic town of Sale owes its name to the 12th Century landowner Thomas De Sale. Founded in the 7th or 8th centuries by the Anglo Saxons, it was once just a small rural settlement with meadows used for crops and cattle farming, but by the 17th century and with the arrival of the Bridgewater Canal improving transport links, Sale had grown into a busy town. The introduction of the railway in 1849 enhanced its appeal even further and Sale’s continued growth into a commuter town for Manchester and beyond was unstoppable.
Nowadays, the area is as popular as ever, due to the strong links into Manchester City Centre and Media City via three Metrolink stations; Dane Road, Sale and Brooklands and rail links to London and the south via Trafford Park railway station. Manchester International Airport also provides access to commuter links. The town’s proximity to the M60 motorway is a further fantastic commuter resource.
Trafford is well known for its excellent educational facilities and there are a large number of good schools situated close by to suit children of all ages. Local primary schools include Brooklands Primary and St Joseph’s Primary, and local secondary schools Sale Grammar and Ashton-on Mersey schools, both of which achieved an ‘outstanding’ verdict in their most recent Ofsted inspection, are great local options. Pupils from Sale also travel to the selective single-sex grammar schools in Altrincham, which achieve some of the best results in the country.
