It’s September in the rest of the world, but it’s Christmas in Stretford…

Christmas came early for the residents of one Greater Manchester street - and there was evening a flurry of snow.

Haddon Street, in Stretford, Trafford, is currently being used by a film crew to record a Christmas advertisement.

And the production team have gone all out to create the most festive atmosphere possible, even if it is a few months too early.

Photographs shared with the Manchester Evening News by Greg Mape show fake snow on the road and pavements of the street.

A Christmas tree, with a few choice baubles and a sprinkling of snow in the front yard, can also be seen.

Another one of Greg’s photos shows a film crew working beneath a huge lighting rig which has been erected to brighten the street.

Those working beneath appear to be covering the road with fake snow.
