Salford History Tour by Paul Hindle

Salford History Tour by Paul Hindle

Salford is often seen as the smaller twin of Manchester, its neighbor across the River Irwell. In fact, Salford was a borough long before Manchester achieved that status, but during the Industrial Revolution Manchester grew more rapidly. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the local economy was driven by the textiles industry and the town's location as a port on the Manchester Ship Canal. Although it entered a period of industrial decline in the 20th century, Salford today is an up-and-coming area, home to Media City. Join local author Paul Hindle in as he guides readers on a fascinating walk through the town and its history. Along the route readers will be able to see how Salford has changed through the 19th and 20th centuries. With the help of a handy location map, this pocket-sized guide explores some of the streets, buildings, and landmarks, and discovers the well-known and hidden aspects of Salford's heritage.

Paul is Chairman of the Manchester Bolton & Burry Canal Society; he wrote the Towpath Guide in 2009 and he edits the society's quarterly journal. He also edits North West Geography, which is an online journal. Paul has several previously published books, and now he is retired spends a lot of time researching Greater Manchester's history. With links to the local library in Salford, it is from this source that he will be taking the majority of his old photographs.
