[edit] Trafford Centre Compared to other Centres

The Trafford Centre has never been the biggest in the UK! When it openned it was 1.2m sq ft (Actually just slightly bigger than Manchester Arndale at the time, IIRC just under 1.2m sqft). At the same time the Metrocentre had 1.5m sq ft or retail space.

When Bluewater opened it took the crown of the largest UK shopping centre, weighing in at 1.6m sq ft. In 2004 the Metrocentre reclaimed its crown with an extension taking it to 1.8m sq ft.

The proposed extension mentioned will take it to 1.4m sq ft, which will still leave it some way behind the Metrocentre, and Bluewater. AFAICT it will be of a similar size to Meadowhall and the extended Manchester Arndale (both 1.4m sq ft) or Lakeside (1.3m sq ft).
