Sale is a town in Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. Historically in Cheshire, Sale is on the south bank of the River Mersey, 1.9 miles south of Stretford, 2.5 miles northeast of Altrincham, and 5.2 miles southwest of Manchester.
Evidence of Stone Age, Roman, and Anglo-Saxon activity has been discovered locally. In the Middle Ages, Sale was a rural township, linked ecclesiastically with neighbouring Ashton upon Mersey, whose fields and meadows were used for crop and cattle farming. By the 17th century, Sale had a cottage industry manufacturing garthweb, the woven material from which horses' saddle girths were made.
The Bridgewater Canal reached the town in 1765, stimulating Sale's urbanisation. The arrival of the railway in 1849 triggered Sale's growth as a commuter town for Manchester, leading to an influx of middle class residents; by the end of the 19th century the town's population had more than tripled. Agriculture gradually declined as service industries boomed.
Sale's urban growth resulted in a merger with neighbouring Ashton upon Mersey, following the Local Government Act 1929. The increase in population led to the granting of a charter in 1935, giving Sale honorific borough status. Since then, Sale has continued to thrive as a commuter town, supported by its proximity to the M60 motorway and the Manchester Metrolink network. Sale Water Park contains an artificial lake used for water sports. Sale FC and Sale Sharks rugby union clubs and Sale Harriers athletics club were founded in Sale, although only the first now remains in the town at their Heywood Road ground.
The town's main districts are Ashton upon Mersey in the northwest, Sale Moor in the southeast, and Brooklands in the southwest. The main commercial area is Sale town centre, in the central northern area of the town, but smaller commercial centres are also found in Ashton upon Mersey and Sale Moor. Brooklands is the most densely populated area. Most of the parks, including Worthington and Walton, are in the central and southern areas, leaving Ashton upon Mersey and Sale Moor with a shortage of accessible green space.
Sale has three Grade II* listed buildings – two churches (St. Martin and St. John the Divine) and Ashton New Hall – and eighteen Grade II listed buildings. The cenotaph outside the town hall was designed by Ashton upon Mersey sculptor Arthur Sherwood Edwards and is a Grade II listed building.
The oldest surviving building in Sale is Eyebrow Cottage. The area has several parks and green spaces. Worthington Park, originally called Sale Park, was opened in 1900. It features a bandstand, gardens, play areas, and a skate ramp and is maintained by Trafford Council and The Friends of Worthington Park. Opened in 1939, Walton Park is in the southwest of the town and features a miniature railway. Sale Water Park is an artificial lake, created from a 35-metre (115 ft) deep gravel pit left during the construction of the M60.

Places to see in ( Manchester - UK ) Albert Square
Places to see in ( Manchester - UK ) Albert Square
Albert Square is a public square in the centre of Manchester, England. It is dominated by its largest building, the Grade I listed Manchester Town Hall, a Victorian Gothic building by Alfred Waterhouse. Other smaller buildings from the same period surround it, many of which are listed (the buildings on the north side are in Princess Street).
Albert square contains a number of monuments and statues, the largest of which is the Albert Memorial, a monument to Prince Albert, Prince consort of Queen Victoria. The square, named after the Prince, was laid out to provide a space for the memorial in 1863–67. Work on the town hall began in 1868 and was completed in 1877.
Albert Square's largest monument is the Grade I listed Albert Memorial, commemorating the Prince Consort. It features a marble statue of Albert standing on a plinth and facing west, designed by Matthew Noble (1862–1867). The figure is placed within a large Medieval-style ciborium which was designed by the architect Thomas Worthington. Noble was commissioned by the then mayor, Thomas Goadsby, to sculpt the Prince's likeness, and the designs were personally approved by Queen Victoria.
Albert Square is bounded by a varied selection of listed Victorian buildings, the largest being the town hall. Only the western side of the square (facing the town hall) has lost its original buildings and is now occupied by brick and glass office blocks erected during the 1980s. Buildings in Albert Square include:
Manchester Town Hall (1868–77) – neo-Gothic sandstone ashlar local governmental building on a triangular site, with a 280 ft (85 m) bell tower, housing a carillon of 23 bells, designed by Alfred Waterhouse for Manchester Corporation. Contains mural paintings by Ford Madox Brown.
the Abbey National building (c.1900), Grade II listed – Neoclassical Portland stone bank by Percy Worthington with semicircular front.
Albert Chambers, 16 Albert Square (1873), Grade II listed – Venetian-style sandstone ashlar offices designed by Clegg and Knowles for Manchester Corporation Gasworks.
Carlton House (formerly Bridgewater Buildings), 17–18 Albert Square (1872), Grade II listed – Venetian Gothic-style sandstone ashlar office buildings by Clegg and Knowles.
St Andrew's Chambers, 20–21 Albert Square (1874), Grade II listed – Neo-Gothic sandstone corner building designed by George T. Redmayne for the Scottish Widows Fund Life Assurance Society.
The Memorial Hall, by architect Thomas Worthington for the Unitarian Church (1866), Grade II* listed, Southmill Street corner.

Maurice Dobson Museum
This short film was produced by students from Sheffield University School of Architecture in November 2015 to promote the Maurice Dobson Museum. This was part of the University's Live Projects initiative where groups of students work with a client on a real life project. For this project the students worked with the Maurice Dobson Museum in Darfield, South Yorkshire to look at how the museum could be expanded. Not only did this look at the building but also the branding, promotion and way the Museum engages with the community.
This project was supported by the Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership who are funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. You can find more information about the DVLP at discoverdearne.org.uk

Places to see in ( Eccles - UK )
Eccles is a town in Greater Manchester, England, 2.7 miles west of Salford and 3.7 miles west of Manchester city centre, between the M602 motorway to the north and the Manchester Ship Canal to the south. Eccles cakes, first produced and sold in the town in 1793, are now exported across the world.
Historically part of Lancashire, Eccles grew up around the 13th century Parish Church of St Mary. Evidence of pre-historic human settlement has been discovered locally but the area was predominantly agricultural until the Industrial Revolution, when a textile industry was established in the town. The arrival of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the world's first passenger railway, led to the town's expansion along the route of the track linking those two cities.
The derivation of the name is uncertain, but several ideas have been proposed. One is that the Eccles place-name is derived from the Romano-British Ecles or Eglys, itself derived from the Ancient Greek Ecclesia. Following the arrival in AD 613 of the invading Anglo-Saxons at Lancashire, many existing British place-names, especially rivers and hills (the River Irwell for example), survived intact. The root Ecles, found in several village names, is an exception to this. A popular theory is that the word denoted the site of a building recognised by the Anglo-Saxons as a church and feature of the landscape. Eccles appears to have been such a village, and Ecles may be the likely source of the modern name.
Eccles is situated 4¾ miles west of Manchester, on the north bank of the Manchester Ship Canal. The area is along a gentle slope from 160 feet (49 m) above sea level to the north, to 60 feet (18 m) above sea at the south, near the Irwell. The Eccles area consists of the wards of Barton, Winton, and Eccles. The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin is the only Grade I listed building in Eccles. There are two Grade II* listed buildings in the Eccles area. The Church of St Andrew was completed by the architect Herbert Edward Tijou in 1879. Monton Unitarian Church was completed in 1875 by Thomas Worthington.
The town's war memorial was erected in 1925. Local sculptor John Cassidy was commissioned to design the structure. Built from Portland stone and topped with a bronze figure, it was unveiled by Lord Derby in August 1925. It is now a Grade II listed building. Eccles Library was built on a slum clearance site in the town centre. The building was funded by Andrew Carnegie and designed by Edward Potts (who also designed the canalside mill picture above), and opened on 19 October 1907. Designed in the Renaissance style, it is now a Grade II listed building. Potts had hoped that the building would become the Eccles University.
Salford City Council is currently bidding for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to be included in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. Eccles railway station has recently undergone restoration work by the 'Friends of Eccles Railway Station', including clean-ups, renovation of the station garden, and a mural. Both Monton Green and Ellesmere Park are designated conservation areas, and a Site of Biological Importance is located near Rutland Road and Chatsworth Road.

Van vaulting over roundabout has the internet divided...
THIS footage appears to show a van vaulting over a roundabout – in a video that’s divided the internet, with many claiming it's a fake.
The silver Citroen van is filmed hurtling along a dual carriageway but fails to stop and launches 12ft into the air.
The 'Duke of Hazzard' moment, which has been watched 2.7 million times, has split the internet – with many commentators saying it is clearly fake.
Motorcyclist Andy Daynes, 35, claimed he captured the footage on his helmet cam while driving behind the van on the A11 at Attleborough, Norfolk, earlier this year.
Andy, from Hingham, in Norwich said: I was actually on my motorbike behind him so I saw it all.
I pulled over along with some other drivers to see if he was OK.
He had to be cut out of the van - but he seemed to be alright, he wasn't badly injured.
It is quite a bad roundabout, he just didn't see what was coming because he was going so fast.
He was on his own, he had a few cuts and bruises but the ambulance came straight away and took him to hospital.
He just didn't see the roundabout coming.
However many commentators online have said the video is a fake.
One said: If that van was carrying enough speed to launch, it would reappear at the far side of the roundabout. Also if it was a helmet cam, why didn't he move his head?
Stunt drivers put big ramps in to get that much air. The van, if it was true, would have ploughed through the roundabout.
Others questioned why Mr Daynes had only just uploaded the video, that he claimed to have taken in January.
Norfolk police today said it was trying to establish whether it had a record of the incident which Mr Daynes said happened in January.

Rover P6B 3500S from Sale to Old Trafford (via A56)
Wacky Racers (Tesco Edition) - starting on the roof of Tesco in Sale, we work our way round Sale's one way system to head towards central Manchester on the A56. These roads used to strike terror in me when I was a learner driver.
This is Chester Road and has been the most important road into Manchester since Roman times - the A6 being a mere side road.
We pass Dane Road and cross the River Mersey and the M60 motorway in quick succession to head into Stretford. We drive past some of Manchester's most notable landmarks on the way, including the home of MUFC. We take the modern incarnation of the A56, Bridgewater Way before doubling back onto Chester Road and into Hulme.
