Chapel Street

The world in one street

The ancient heart of Salford is still beating strong. Everywhere you go along this extraordinary street and its neighbour, Crescent, you'll see signs of its rapid regeneration sitting comfortably alongside historic buildings, Victorian parks and local history archives.

Walking down from Salford Crescent station you'll pass the UK's first public park, one of the UK's first public lending libraries, the rapidly growing University of Salford, the pub where Marx and Engels debated society over a pint, Salford Cathedral, The Working Class Movement Library and Greater Manchester's first 5 star hotel!
