Author : Ian Barbar


Sitting very close to Manchester, the city of Salford covers an area of 37 square miles and is a major economic and cultural contributor to the growing North West of England. Salford is divided into five boroughs. They are Eccles, Worsley, Earl Cadshed, Swinton, and Pendlebury. According to the UK Office for National Statistics, the population of Salford has been growing steadily over the past decade. In mid-2011, the estimated population of Salford was around 233,000, and by mid-2020, it had grown to an estimated 253,000 people.

As for the specific age group of young people aged 18 to 40, this age group has likely grown rapidly in Salford over the past decade, given the overall population growth. Salford and Manchester attract many young people as Salford is a great place to live. In this article, we will tell you why. The public transport system is well-planned and among the cheapest in the UK. There are many great places to socialise and plenty of choices for experimenting with your culinary desires.

But there are many other reasons why Salford is a rising star and a better option for settling down than many other parts of Manchester.

Salford has a thriving arts and culture scene. The city has some of the most memorable landmarks, such as The Lowry, a world-class arts venue that hosts theatre, exhibitions, and performances. The MediaCityUK, located in Salford Quays, is a central creative hub now known as Media City because It is also the headquarters of the BBC and ITV studios.

Salford is situated on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Irwell and offers stunning panoramic coast views. It was once a busy industrial port, but Salford Quays has been gradually transformed into a bustling district of modern architecture, entertainment, shops, restaurants, and a waterfront.

Where are Salford's parks and green spaces?

Although Salford is an urban area, it offers many green spaces and parks for residents and visitors to relax and enjoy the wonderful outdoors. Buyle Hill Park, Peel Park, and Kersall Dale are examples of beautiful green spaces in Salford. They are ideal for strolling, picnicking, and relaxing.

Salford is known for its world-class sports and leisure facilities. The AJ Bell Stadium, where the Salford Red Devils rugby league team plays, is a prominent venue within the city. Salford's proximity to famous football stadiums like Old Trafford (home of Manchester United) and the Etihad Stadium (home of Manchester City) further affirms its association with the sport.

Where are Manchester's universities situated? In Salford.

Salford is famous for the University of Salford. It offers various academic programmes across different disciplines. The university attracts students from around the world and plays a significant role in developing the city's intellectual and cultural vibrancy.

Salford benefits from its proximity to Manchester, which provides excellent transport links. The city has a well-developed network of buses, trams, and trains, making it easy to explore the whole area. Manchester Airport is also conveniently located nearby and serves domestic and international flights.

Salford nurtures a vibrant community spirit, as is seen from the presence of multiple community centres, local events, and initiatives aimed at uniting the residents. The city hosts various festivals, markets, and cultural celebrations, promoting a sense of belonging and great pride among those who call Salford their home.
