Sacred Trinity is on the junction of Chapel St and Blackfriars Rd, very close to Manchester City Centre. Originally known as “Chapel”, Sacred Trinity is Salford’s oldest church and gave the street its name. Prior to this, the street was actually called Sergeant Street. Trinity Church dates from 1635, it was originally built as a chapel-of-ease to serve the growing population of Salford. Most of the current building dates from 1752. It is a grade II listed building with many original features (English heritage ID:471610 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-471610-church-of-the-sacred-trinity- British Listed Buildings). It was restored in 1877-74 and adapted for more flexible use in the 1980s. http://www.salfordchurch.org/Sacred_Trinity.html Salford Churches http://www.visitsalford.info/documents/chapelstreettrail.pdf Chapel Street Heritage Trail
