Student Accommodation in Salford
Salford became a major cotton and silk spinning and weaving factory town and inland port on the Manchester Ship Canal in the 18th and 19th centuries. Industries declined in the 20th century, causing economic depression, and Salford became a place of contrasts, with regenerated inner-city areas like Salford Quays next to some of the most socially deprived and violent areas in England.[7]
The Lowry, Salford's famous centre for visual and performance art, houses the largest public collection of paintings and drawings by LS Lowry.
Half of Salford is made up of forests, nature reserves, mosslands, parklands and quaint villages. It boasts hundreds of acres of parkland and wildlife habitats.
