Salford is a city in the north west of England. It is part of the City of Salford metropolitan borough, Greater Manchester, England. Historically it was part of the county of Lancashire until the creation of the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester in 1974. The city lies to the west of the centre of Manchester, within the conurbation of Greater Manchester. The centres of the adjoining cities are divided by the River Irwell.
It gave its name to the ancient hundred of Salford, sometimes called Salfordshire.
The name of Salford derives from Anglo-Saxon Sealhford = "sallow-tree ford", in reference to the willow (latin salix) trees that grow alongside the banks of the River Irwell that flows through the city. The city's crest is made up of three curved blue lines (representing the ford in the river) surrounded by sallow leaves.
The old medieval centre of Salford was located next to the River Irwell, on the opposite bank to Manchester. Old streets such as Greengate and Gravel Lane formed the market area. However, the centre moved during Victorian era development, with new municipal buildings appearing along the Crescent.
Salford was one of the UK's first industrial cities and gained status at the start of the industrial revolution.
Since the 1960s Salford has gradually restored itself from the grubby, smoky town pictures of the post-war period. Salford now has many delightful tourist attractions such as the Imperial War Museum (located in the neighbouring Trafford MBC area) and the Lowry Centre, an award winning art gallery and theatre.
The Salford Quays, with the Lowry Centre arts complex in the centreThe city was once considered a maritime centre, with vast docks constructed along the Manchester Ship Canal. From here, locally-produced goods were shipped all over the world. These docks have now closed and the area has been re-developed, with extensive housing, leisure and shopping facilities. Salford Quays houses Salford's main tourist attractions: Imperial War Museum North and the Lowry Centre, an arts centre comprising 2 theatres and 3 galleries. The latter is named after artist L. S. Lowry, many of whose works can be seen at the centre.
There is a shopping precinct at Pendleton, with smaller shopping areas at Eccles, Walkden and Swinton. Originally, the area around Liverpool Road was a shopping hub, but this has long since declined. Currently, the city has no city centre, sharing its CBD with nearby Manchester. Salford Quays has been shortlisted as a possible Salford city centre by 2020.
The University of Salford was awarded university status in 1967. It is one of four universities in Greater Manchester and has approximately 19,000 students.
Salford's first annual film festival held at the Red Cinema in the Lowry Outlet at Salford Quays in 2003 was a huge success. The second, in November 2004 achieved similar results, showcasing some new local talent. < Back to Greater Manchester Property Next (page 2) >>
