Salford / Royaume-Uni

Salford [ˈsɒlfərd] est une ville de la région de l'Angleterre du Nord-Ouest située au nord-ouest de Manchester, dans la conurbation du Grand Manchester. Sa population au recensement de 2001 était de 218 000 habitants. Elle a le statut de cité. Salford est couramment surnommée « Dirty Old Town » par les Anglais. En effet, après la révolution industrielle au XIXe siècle, la ville a été profondément touchée par le chômage et la pauvreté. Mais, aujourd'hui, la situation est bien plus contrastée. Des quartiers, comme notamment les Salford Quays et Broughton, connaissent un renouveau et viennent redynamiser la ville, alors que d'autres comptent toujours parmi les plus violents et socialement défavorisés d'Angleterre. Ses habitants sont appelés les « Salfordians ».

Ordsall Hall

Salford / Royaume-Uni

Ordsall Hall is a large former manor house in the historic parish of Ordsall, Lancashire, England, now part of the City of Salford, in Greater Manchester. It dates back more than 750 years, although the oldest surviving parts of the present hall were built in the 15th century. The most important period of Ordsall Hall's life was as the family seat of the Radclyffe family, who lived in the house for more than 300 years. The hall was the setting for William Harrison Ainsworth's 1842 novel Guy Fawkes, written around the plausible although unsubstantiated local story that the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was planned in the house. Since its sale by the Radclyffes in 1662 the hall has been put to many uses: a working men's club, a school for clergy, and a radio station among them. The house was bought by the old Salford Council in 1959 and opened to the public in 1972, as a period house and local history museum. The hall is a Grade I listed building, and entrance is free.
