It used to be the site of a Shell Chemicals refinery, which produced polythene and polystyrene. Until recent years there was a Carrington Power Station located on the south bank of the Manchester Ship Canal. The building work commenced in 1947, although the land for the site was acquired in 1916.[2] The station opened in 1956, and was decommissioned during the late 1980s. It was demolished using explosives in 1991, having stood empty for several years. All that remains today is a large 400 kV switching station. The station had its own railway spur from the Glazebrook to Stockport Tiviot Dale line,[3] evidence of which can still be seen today from the gates where the line crossed Manchester Road. In July 2007, Bridestones Developments acquired planning permission for a new CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) power station, to be built on the same site as the old power station. Construction of the new power station began in 2013 and is due to complete in 2016. The new power station will generate three times the energy as the old coal-fired power station, will occupy only half of the space of the old site and will emit only half of the carbon dioxide. Around 600 people have been involved in its construction and when it is finally operation there will be around 40 staff employed at the power station. The new power station will generate up to 880MW of electricity which is enough to supply approximately one million homes. Some of the parts for the new plant were so large that they were transported to the site via the Manchester ship canal[4][5] Manchester United (Trafford Training Centre) and Bury (Carrington Training Centre) Football Clubs have training complexes on Carrington Moss, as does Sale Sharks Rugby Club. HistorySeveral derivations of the name Carrington have been suggested, all from Old English. The name may mean "estate associated with a man called Cara"; alternatively, the first part of the name may be derived from caring, meaning "tending or herding" or cring, which means "river bend", so either "place associated with herding", or "settlement by a river bend". In the 12th century, Carrington was known as Carrintona.[6] Geography{{Geographic Location|title = Neighbouring towns, villages and places. |Northwest = Irlam |North = Flixton |Northeast = Urmston |West = Cadishead |Centre = Carrington |East = Ashton upon Mersey |Southwest = Partington |South = Dunham Massey |Southeast = Altrincham }}{{clr}} DemographyAt the 2001 UK census, Carrington had a total population of 396. For every 100 females, there were 110.6 males. The average household size was 2.62.[7] Of those aged 16–74 in Carrington, 53.3% had no academic qualifications or one GCSE, higher than the figures for all of Trafford (40.8%) and in England (45.5%).[8] According to the census, 1.75% were unemployed and 34.39% were economically inactive.[9] 21.72% of the population were under the age of 16 and 6.31% were aged 75 and over; the mean age of the people of Carrington was 37.24. 66.41% of residents described their health as "good".[10] Population change
