Police were called to the area at 2.40am to reports of a concern for her welfare.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services, she sadly died.
Her death is not currently being treated as suspicious but her identity remains unknown.
Cops are now hoping the woman’s next-of-kin may recognise her belongings.
Photos show the black Peacocks coat she was wearing as well as several items of jewelry.
She was also wearing pink and brown tortoise shell glasses, a patterned, brown-coloured headband and a wristwatch with a black leather strap.
She is described as white, 5’3” tall, with shoulder length, mousey brown hair, which is straight and greying in places.
Officers believe age was in the region of 40s – 60s and she was wearing pink nail varnish.
Detective Sergeant Steven Rogers, of GMP’s Trafford district, said: “We are continuing our work to identify the woman and we hope that these new photos may help jog people’s memories and assist with our work.
“We will use everything available to us as we carry on with our enquiries to unite this woman with her next-of-kin.
“We are still appealing for information and ask anyone who may know something to please get in touch.”
