WELCOME TO SALFORD – A MODERN GLOBAL CITY Position Statement Salford is changing. Unprecedented private and public investment over the last ten years, including renowned schemes such as MediaCityUK, is transforming the city from its industrial roots. As a result, more people than ever are choosing Salford as a place to live, work, invest and visit. Salford’s economy is growing well above regional and national averages and is outperforming both London and Manchester to become the UK’s hot spot for starting a new business. With a strong cultural and tourism offer, a rich heritage and huge swathes of beautiful green spaces, the city truly has something for everyone. But Salford also remains a city of contrasts, with some of the most prosperous and deprived wards in the country. With the council's core funding from central government cut by 47% since 2010, it is clear we need to develop radical new ways of working with our partners, residents and vibrant voluntary and community sector to make the best use of the city’s collective resources. At the heart of our approach is an ambitious plan to transform Salford into a modern global city, but with a clear vision for ‘A Better and Fairer Salford’. The next ten years promise to be even more exciting. 2 THIS IS SALFORD’S TIME Salford has successfully attracted Salford’s exceptional levels of growth are more than £2.6 billion of private supported by clear policies that identify long- sector investment into the city over term objectives and three of the strongest investment opportunities in the region: the last decade. 1.

The city is determined that residents see much more of the benefits of this prosperity. Salford City Council and its partners know we must take a radically different approach if we are to ensure residents are able and ready to participate in this growth. Salford’s elected City Mayor has taken a strong leadership and place shaping role, and has brought together political and organisational leaders from across the The Great Eight shared priorities city behind a shared vision for ‘A Better and Fairer Salford’. Working with key anchor institutions including the NHS, university, housing providers and the VCSE sector, the city is driving forward a shared set of cross-cutting priorities that place inclusive growth at the heart of public investment.

Tate Publishing [London], 2013, p209-215 1870 The Manchester Guardian publishes a series of articles on the city's slums, opening with a scene of eighteen adults and several babies squeezed round a single fireplace. Salford Improved Industrial Dwellings are built to provide reasonable housing for locals living in appalling conditions. The estate's gateway later becomes a recurring part of Lowry's iconography. 1887 Lawrence Stephen Lowry is born in Stretford, Manchester, on 1 November to middle-class parents Robert Lowry, an estate agent, and his wife Elizabeth. 1888 The first steel is produced in Salford and Manchester and the associated rolling mills open the following year. This site was noted for having one of the tallest chimneys in the country, known as Top Place Chimney, which extracted poisonous gas from the furnaces. 1889 The Lowry family move to a larger house at 4 Ellesmere Street, Longsight. 1890 Sylvia Pankhurst accompanies her father on his campaigns for Manchester's Independent Labour Party.

Lowry: Class, Mass Spectatorship and the Image at The Lowry, Salford, UK Zoë Thompson School of Cultural Studies and Humanities, Leeds Metropolitan University, Broadcasting Place A214, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, LS2 9EN, UK; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-0113-812-5721 Received: 4 September 2013; in revised form: 16 October 2013 / Accepted: 17 October 2013 / Published: 18 October 2013 Abstract: In a series of momentary encounters with the surface details of The Lowry Centre, a cultural venue located in Salford, Greater Manchester, UK, this article considers the fate of the image evoked by the centre’s production and staging of cultural experience. Benjamin’s notion of ‘aura’ as inimical to transformations of art and cultural spectatorship is explored, alongside its fatal incarnation in Baudrillard’s concept of ‘simulation’. L.S. Lowry, I argue, occupies the space as a medium: both as a central figure of transmission of the centre’s narrative of inclusivity through cultural regeneration, and as one who communes with phantoms: remainders of the working-class life and culture that once occupied this locale. Through an exploration of various installations there in his name, Lowry is configured as a ‘destructive character’, who, by making possible an alternative route through its spaces, refuses to allow The Lowry Centre to insulate itself from its locale and the debt it owes to its past. Keywords: aura; simulation; The Lowry; cultural regeneration; haunting; class I have been called a painter of Manchester workpeople.

    Regulation 18 Local Plan Call for Sites Consultation Form (July 2018) The Local Plan will make site specific allocations for housing, employment and green spaces, similar to those in the Revised Trafford UDP. As part of the Issues Paper consultation we welcome the submission of any sites you wish to be considered for development, protection or for some other purpose within Trafford. Each submission will be assessed in terms of its ‘fit’ with the Local Plan and against sustainability criteria, which may ultimately lead to the site being allocated. Sites submitted for development will be assessed to establish their capacity, suitability, availability and achievability, taking into account planning policy, the environment and local constraints and the extent to which they can be mitigated or addressed. Sites submitted to be considered for protection or another purpose will be assessed on their suitability for the proposed use. The Call for Sites will not determine whether a site should be allocated for a particular use, it is a technical exercise aimed at identifying the potential of sites for different allocations. Guidelines Use a separate Call for Sites form for each site Submit an Ordnance Survey map clearly showing the boundaries of the site. If there is more than one landowner, please ensure the land ownership boundaries are clearly defined on the map, and please provide confirmation that each landowner is in agreement of the consideration of the land for possible development.

  • The Lowry Hotel New Suites (PDF)
    The Lowry Hotel - Press Release Five-star Lowry Hotel’s suites refurbishment completes £5.25m makeover Six unique interiors are inspired by the paintings of artist Alan Rankle THE Lowry Hotel’s standing as the art hotel of the North of England has been boosted further by the refurbishment of six riverside suites inspired by artworks of the internationally acclaimed, Oldham- born artist Alan Rankle. Rankle has enjoyed recent high profile solo exhibitions in Copenhagen, Berlin, Milan and London which have confirmed his status as one of the most innovative painters working today. The project has been delivered by boutique global architecture and interior design practice Arney Fender Katsalidis (AFK), in collaboration with the renowned artist. AFK has designed six bespoke suites ranging in size from 82 to 92 sq m, each of which correspond to unique abstract artworks by Rankle. The six abstract artworks are reflected within the space through the selected colour schemes of the textiles and furnishings. Each suite contains an extraordinary over-scaled headboard, curved slightly around the bed, depicting an image of the original artwork. The art has been printed onto the 4m x 2.5m upholstered headboard, which is reflected into two mirrored doors opposite, allowing guests to view the piece from multiple vantage points in the room. With their refined designs, AFK has created an intimate but glamorous experience for the Lowry Hotel’s guests. Veronica Givone, Associate Director at Arney Fender Katsalidis, said: “What makes these suites so special is the way the paintings, materials and colour schemes of the room intertwine, allowing guests to really feel embraced by the art piece.” A comprehensive makeover of the 165-room hotel has taken place since September 2014.

  • Cadishead Viaduct and the Cheshire Lines Rail Line
    Proposal to re-open Cadishead Viaduct and the Cheshire Lines rail line The art of the possible! This document has been produced by Hamilton Davies Trust (HDT) to provide background and scope for the Cadishead Viaduct potential re-opening debate. HDT has been heavily involved in the regeneration of Irlam and Cadishead since 2008, working with key local, regional and national stakeholders to make Irlam and Cadishead an even better place to live, work and enjoy. As part of our regeneration agenda, the poor state and appearance of Cadishead Viaduct has been a topic of conversation for some time. Two years ago we started to investigate the possibility of improving its appearance and putting the bridge back into use. This document summarises the history of the bridge and the compelling opportunities re-opening the viaduct would bring. HDT has now adopted the project and is championing the reopening of the viaduct for multi modal use including a new section of the national cycleway, footpath and heritage railway amongst other options. Cadishead Viaduct Built in 1893, Cadishead Viaduct is a magnificent structure which dominates the landscape across the Manchester Ship Canal. Originally constructed to run the Cheshire Lines railway over the newly built canal, the viaduct helped to service the busy factories in the area, transporting raw materials and finished goods, as well as some passenger services. Due to the decline in industry, the rail line closed to passengers in 1965 and eventually to freight in 1984 when coal exports ceased. With the line no longer in use and the high cost of maintenance, the bridge was eventually closed and industrial containers positioned at either side to prevent access to the structure.
