The Flat Iron conservation area is centred on the Grade II * listed Image] on Chapel Street, close to the boundary with the city of Manchester. It gets its name from the triangular shaped plot of land which contained both Trinity Church and the market itself, resembling the shape of flat, hot coal-heated iron once used for ironing clothes. WS Lowry painted the view of Trinity and the Flat Iron from Chapel Street in 1925 and it is now one of the few views in the city that has remained relatively unchanged since he painted it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/manchesterarchiveplus/6045282239/ photo of Flat Iron Market in 1894 (Manchester Archives) http://www.visitsalford.info/documents/chapelstreettrail.pdf Chapel Street Heritage Trail http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-471610-church-of-the-sacred-trinity- Church of the Sacred Trinity, Salford (British Listed Buildings)
