Although little is recorded of its earlier history, Salford is a city of great antiquity. Centuries later, it was the Industrial Revolution that had a phenomenal impact, with Salford becoming one of the greatest cotton towns. In 1228, Henry III granted the Lancashire town the right to hold a market and an annual fair.
Today the city is made up of five districts: Salford, Eccles, Worsley, Irlam and Cadishead, and Swinton and Pendlebury. With the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894, the newly built docks in Salford became another major factor shaping the local economy. Home to 220,000 people, Salford is constantly changing and moving into an exciting future as a thriving cultural, economic and residential location.
In Salford in 50 Buildings, authors Carole O'Reilly and Paul Rabbitts uncover fifty of the city's architectural treasures and landmarks from across the centuries.
