| | City of Salford in Greater Manchester |
 | | It is only since very recent times that Salford could begin to be thought of as a tourist venue, for it's 19th and early 20th century history has been dogged by poverty and industrial squalor and images created by the likes of its most celebrated artist, L.S. Lowry. |
 | | The Manor (or Hundred) of Salford contained all the lands "between the Ribble and the Mersey", contained 9 large parishes, and came under the diocese of Lichfield in matters ecclesiastical. |
 | | The so-called Salford "Hundreds" (an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "district"), included most of modern Manchester, as far as Heaton Mersey in the south, Bolton and Bury to the north, Oldham and Rochdale to the east, and Warrington and Wigan to the west. |
