Salford is a
city within Greater Manchester, in North West England
England. The city's eastern boundary separates Salford from the City of Manchester.
The
central business districts of the two cities are divided by the
River Irwell. With neighbouring towns Salford forms the metropolitan borough of the
City of Salford. At the
United Kingdom Census 2001 the metropolitan borough had a population of
List of English districts by population whilst Salford itself had a population of 72,750. Salford's nickname is "Dirty Old Town" after the famous folk song.
Historic counties of England part of Lancashire, Salford gave its name to the ancient Salford (hundred) (sometimes called
Salfordshire). The settlement's early history was marked by the granting of a
charter by Ranulf, Earl of Chester, about 1230. The charter made Salford a free borough. 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.Salford Cathedral is the centre of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford and the city today is a centre of higher education, being the location of the University of Salford.
History
Toponymy
The name of Salford derives from the Anglo-Saxon language
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 coat of arms shows three curved blue lines, representing the ford in the river, surrounded by sallow leaves.
Industrial Revolution
Salford was one of the UK's first major Industry towns and gained status at the start of the
Industrial Revolution. Cloth and silk were made there and the processes of dyeing, fulling and bleaching were carried out. It eventually grew to be one of the greatest cotton towns. Salford was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1844 under the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. During the
Victorian era new developments, including new municipal buildings appearing along the Crescent, shifted the centre of the town. As Manchester gained importance, Salford's ancient centre became less vital and the area around Greengate and Salford Bridge now shows no sign of its historic importance to the city.In 1849 the municipal borough was the first in England to establish a public library, museum and art gallery, preceding the
Public Libraries Act 1850. The opening of the
Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 and the construction of Salford Docks also brought employment for almost eighty years. The city became a maritime centre with vast docks constructed along the ship canal. From here, locally-produced goods were shipped all over the world. Salford was granted city status by a Royal Charter of 1926. Another charter of 1967 raised the Royal Salford Technical Institute to the status of university by establishing the University of Salford.
Decline
Vast areas of the city were re-developed in the 1960s and 1970s, with the traditional terraced housing giving way to concrete tower blocks and austere architecture. The docks declined during the same period.
In early
2005, Riga appealed to the
European Union to advise people against travelling to Salford after a
Latvians man was stabbed in the head in
Broughton. However, local government insist that Salford is a safe place to visit.
Regeneration
In the last decade the planning mistakes of the 1960s began to be rectified and the city is beginning to benefit from government investment. However the many
high-rise blocks that remain are a striking feature of the city. Salford now has many tourist attractions such as Ordsall Hall, the Bridgewater Canal and the Lowry Centre, an award winning art gallery comprising 2 theatres and 3 art galleries. The centre is named after the artist
L. S. Lowry, many of whose works can be seen there.Salford has now got a new radio station that took 4 years of hard work, Mr Jim King( chairman ) had hard work in getting this up and running, it is on 94.4 F.M. or WWW.salfordcityradio.org it is going to be for 5 years,the radio station was put together by Steven Suttie, Chris Brophy, and Stevey Thompson, who put there heart and sole into it to make it all happen. I Ian Larkin is one of the presenters on S.C.R.,I am on Saturdays at 12-00p.m till 2-00p.m I play the 60's 70's and onward go on give us a listen, all the presenters are volunteers and enjoy doing it,
Governance
In 1974 the
County Borough of the City of Salford (including Pendleton, Greater Manchester, Claremont, Greater Manchester, Langworthy,
Broughton, Greater Manchester,
Weaste, Ordsall, Greater Manchester,
Irlams o' th' Height and Seedley) was incorporated into the metropolitan borough of the City of Salford.
The new metropolitan borough also included the former
municipal boroughs of
Eccles, Greater Manchester (including
Monton,
Patricroft, Peel Green,
Winton, Greater Manchester and Barton-upon-Irwell) and
Swinton and Pendlebury (including
Clifton, Greater Manchester) and the former Urban Districts of Irlam (including
Cadishead) and Worsley (including Walkden and
Little Hulton).
Geography
The
River Irwell valley is the main geographical feature of Salford. The river meanders through the city from the north and forms the boundary with the
City of Manchester to the east and
Trafford to the south. Flooding has traditionally been a problem and the
River Irwell has seen much modification along its course in Salford with some bends being removed, channelisation, and the construction of
levees and bank reinforcements.
The original centre of Salford is located around Greengate at a
ford (crossing) point on the river opposite
Manchester Cathedral. The city has since grown along the river valley to the north and south and on to higher ground on the valley sides at Irlams o' th' Height and
Higher Broughton.
Demography
Salford is for statistical purposes part of the
Greater Manchester Urban Area. It is a city of contrasting demographies. Whilst the area immediately adjacent to
Manchester city centre, Salford Quays and suburban areas to the far west of the city such as
Worsley are relatively affluent (with the main road colloquially known as 'Millionaire's Row'), other parts of the city are some of the most deprived communities in the UK. In August 2005 a survey by
Channel 4 television rated the city as the 9th worst place to live in the UK (based on criteria of crime, education, environment, lifestyle and employment).
The city has seen a major rise in construction especially in the Salford Quays area with modern living spaces and office buildings. It also has regional offices for major corporations including IBM,
McDonald's,
BUPA and Citifinancial.
Economy
Currently, the inner city's main shopping area is Salford Shopping City, Pendleton — colloquially referred to as 'the Precinct' — close to the University of Salford. However this area suffers from extreme deprivation and is dominated by the
central business district of nearby Manchester. This is planned to change in the next few years with the implementation of the Pendleton Area Action Plan and the development of the pedestrianised and boulevarded A6 Corridor. There is a shopping precinct at Eccles, with smaller shopping areas at Walkden, Swinton, Boothstown and Little Hulton. Salford Quays has been shortlisted as the new possible city centre by 2020.
Transport
The city is linked to other parts of Greater Manchester by the
Manchester Metrolink tram system, which runs near the docks area to
Langworthy and
Eccles, Greater Manchester.
There are mainline railway stations at Salford Central, Salford Crescent, Swinton, Moorside, Clifton, Eccles, Patricroft, Irlam and Walkden.
In
1824 John Greenwood d.1851 started the first horse drawn operation from
Pendleton to
Market Street Manchester.
Education
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 also has numerous college's. These include Pendleton College,
Eccles College and Salford College which has two main campus'- Worsley Campus and City Campus. All these offer a wide range of courses to suit the large majority of people's needs.
Sports
Salford has a strong
rugby league history with the Salford City Reds who currently play in the
National League One. The National League 2 side
Swinton Lions are from inside the boundaries of the City of Salford, and are currently playing at
Sedgley Park R.U.F.C. in
Whitefield, Greater Manchester. Amateur rugby league teams within the city include Langworthy Reds,
Eccles-Salford Roosters and Folly Lane.
Salford is one of the few sizeable cities in the UK not to have a professional soccer team, it does have a non-league club, North West Counties League side Salford City F.C..
Salford Victoria F.C. is also a major element in the Salford footballing scene after winning the 2004 National Charter Standard Adult Club of the Year.
The nearest professional football team to Salford is
Manchester United F.C., situated just across the Quays in Trafford, and many people from Salford are avid Manchester United fans and are colloquially referred to as "Salford Reds", not to be confused with the local rugby team of the same name. However, many people in Salford also support and follow Manchester City F.C..
Since Manchester hosted the Commonwealth Games of 2002,
Salford Quays has developed into a major international
triathlon site.
Health
The main NHS medical facilities are located at
Hope Hospital, Claremont near the boundary with Eccles, Greater Manchester. The former Salford Royal Hospital closed in 1993 and is now converted to private apartments.
Culture
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.Manchester's award-winning international theatre festival 27/4, takes place each July at the North of England's only fringe theatre venue, Studio Salford at the King's Arms, Bloom Street, Salford, which is also a popular live music venue.
Due to its cheap rent and plentiful supply of redundant mill buildings, Salford is host to a number of artists, including those based at Cow Lane Studios, Kings Arms, Islington Mill and
Suite Studio Group. Salford's visual art scene, completely homogeneous with that of
Manchester includes publicly owned galleries at
The Lowry, Salford City Museum as well as independent spaces such as
Bureau (Salford).
The Salford Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1947.Mediacity is in the process of construction on the Quays near the Lowry and will house several relocated national departments of the BBC
