6 ART & HISTORY

Salford is steeped in history. The infamous gunpowder plot was supposedly planned in Salford’s very own historic Ordsall Hall and the City also played a very important part in the industrial revolution.

Salford has plenty to offer in the way of art and museums. From The Lowry, Salford’s famous centre for visual and performance art, which houses the largest public collection of paintings and drawings E\/6/RZU\WR6DOIRUG0XVHXPDQG$UW*DOOHU\WKH8.ōVƓUVWIUHHSXEOLFOLEUDU\ZKLFKRSHQHGLQ 1850.

MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT

Many famous musicians and entertainers have lived in and come out of Salford. From Christopher Eccleston, who once played Doctor Who, to Shaun Ryder from the Happy Mondays. With that in mind, the music scene is vibrant. The grade 2 listed Islington Mill has become one of Salford’s most thriving music venues and has seen and supported thousands of artists on their musical journey. The City also holds its own annual, independent music festival, ‘Sounds from the Other City’, showcasing developing talent.

SPORT

Paul Scholes and England cricket captain, Michael Vaughan, both came from Salford. Salford Quays is a stone’s throw away from two of the country’s most renowned sporting meccas, Manchester United and Lancashire County Cricket Club.

The City is also home to the Salford City Reds Rugby Club and the AJ Bell Stadium in Irlam.

A CITY OF GROWTH

Salford has, in recent years, been subject to remarkable growth and regeneration, making it the heart and hub of the North. The redevelopment of Salford Quays has created a world-class business area and the continual expansion of MediaCityUK will carry on bringing jobs into the city and further build on its vibrant economy.

Key milestones have included the opening of The Lowry, the relocation of BBC and ITV to the City, and the regeneration of the Soapworks in Ordsall. Plus, the close proximity to Manchester creates a wealth of opportunity for the residents and students of Salford.
