Original gateway to the Botanical gardens, 1830s (top), 2012 (bottom)
White City is an area in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. Part of the site, which is adjacent to Chester Road, is now a retail park. The area was originally the former Manchester Botanic Gardens that occupied the southeast corner of the docks area and Manchester United's ground. The gateway of the Botanic Gardens still stands at the edge of the retail park.[1] In 1857, the Art Treasures Exhibition was held in the gardens.
White City has also been an amusement park and a sports stadium that has featured athletics, greyhound racing and motorsports.[2]
