Who can tell me when "Old Trafford" became old?

[Bretrick]

It has not always been "Old" All my life it has been referred to as "Old Trafford" I do not know the answer, simply curious.

Dya mean Old Trafford Football ground Manchester ?

Old Trafford was a crossing point over the River Irwell in ancient times. The name Old Trafford possibly derives from the time when there were two Trafford Halls, Old Trafford Hall and New Trafford Hall. The old hall was close to what is now the White City Retail Park, and was said to have been the home of the de Trafford family since 1017, until the family moved to the new hall in what is now Trafford Park, some time between 1672 and 1720.[1] The name of the area around Old Trafford Hall may subsequently have become shortened to Old Trafford.[2] The old hall was demolished in 1939.[3]
