Old Salford Pubs and Pictures
This video is a slide show of old photographs of the City of Salford dating back to the the 1950's to the early 70's.
Salford is a city and the main administrative centre in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England, directly west of Manchester city centre in a meander of the River Irwell, which forms part of its boundary with Manchester.
The wider City of Salford local government district is administered from Swinton. The former County Borough of Salford, which included Broughton, Pendleton and Kersal, was granted city status in 1926. In 2011, Salford had a population of 103,886, and the City of Salford 233,933.
Historically in Lancashire, Salford was the judicial seat of the ancient hundred of Salfordshire. It was granted a charter by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, in about 1230, making Salford a free borough of greater cultural and commercial importance than its neighbour Manchester, although since the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries that position has been reversed.
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.
Salford is home to the University of Salford, and has seen several firsts, including the world's first free public library, and the first street to be lit by gas. Salford's MediaCityUK became the headquarters of CBBC and BBC Sport in 2011, joined by ITV Granada in 2013.
The earliest known evidence of human activity in what is now Salford is provided by the Neolithic flint arrow-heads and workings discovered on Kersal Moor and the River Irwell, suggesting that the area was inhabited 7–10,000 years ago. The raw material for such tools was scarce and unsuitable for working, and as a result they are not of the quality found elsewhere. Other finds include a neolithic axe-hammer found near Mode Wheel, during the excavation of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1890, and a Bronze Age cremation urn during the construction of a road on the Broughton Hall estate in 1873.
The Brigantes were the major Celtic tribe in what is now Northern England. With a stronghold at the sandstone outcrop on which Manchester Cathedral now stands, opposite Salford's original centre, their territory extended across the fertile lowland by the River Irwell that is now Salford and Stretford. Following the Roman conquest of Britain, General Agricola ordered the construction of a Roman fort named Mamucium (Manchester) to protect the routes to Deva Victrix (Chester) and Eboracum (York) from the Brigantes. Salford was founded when the fort was completed in AD 79, and for over 300 years the Pax Romana brought peace to the area. Both the main Roman road to the north, from Mamucium to Ribchester, and a second road to the west, ran through what is now Salford, but few Roman artefacts have been found in the area. The withdrawal of the Romans in AD 410 left the inhabitants at the mercy of the Saxons. The Danes later conquered the area and absorbed what was left of the Brigantes. Angles settled in the region during the Early Middle Ages and gave the locality the name Sealhford, meaning ford by the willows. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Sealhford was part of the Kingdom of Northumbria until it was conquered in 923 by Edward the Elder.
Following the emergence of the united Kingdom of England, Salford became a caput or central manor within a broad rural area in part held by the Kings of England, including Edward the Confessor. The area between the rivers Mersey and Ribble was divided into six smaller districts, referred to as wapentakes, or hundreds. The south east district became known as the Hundred of Salford, a division of land administered from Salford for military and judicial purposes. It contained nine large parishes, smaller parts of two others, and the township of Aspull in the parish of Wigan.

Salford 14-6 Batley, 2 November 1901
Part of the Mitchell & Kenyon archive, this footage is of a Northern Union (Rugby League) match between Salford and Batley on 2 November 1901. Salford eventually won by 14-6.
The Salford team was: D. Smith, Hatyon, T. Williams (2t), Varty (t), Pryce; Lomas (t, g) Griffiths; H. Buckler, Tunney, Rhapps, Heath, J. Williams, W. Brown, Shaw, Gledhill.
The clip shows points scored by Salford's James 'Jimmy' Lomas. Lomas was one of Rugby League's earliest superstars, playing in the first ever international match for England vs. Other Nationalities in 1904 and captaining Great Britain in their first tour to Australia and New Zealand in 1910. Prior to the first test of that tour, Lomas took on and defeated Australia's Dally Messenger, 'The Master', in a goal-kicking contest.
This game was one of the last at Salford's New Barnes ground, which had to make way for the extension of Salford Docks. A month later, Salford were playing in their new stadium — The Willows. 110 years after that, Salford had played their last ever match at The Willows before moving to their new stadium in Barton.
Salford finished the 1901--02 league season in 2nd place behind runaway champions Broughton Rangers. With Swinton also finishing 4th, three of the top four clubs had come from what we recognise today as the City of Salford.
Broughton Rangers and Salford also contested the 1902 Challenge Cup final at Rochdale. Unfortunately for Salford, they were defeated by 25-0.
