Salford Cinema
This building on the corner of Chapel Street and Trinity Way has an unusual history. It was originally built as a Scottish Presbyterian Church in 1846, complete with tall spire. The present frontage was then added in 1912 and it was opened as the Salford Cinema, (one of the first in Salford and Manchester) which then changed in 1938 to the Rex Cinema, surviving until 1958 before becoming a bingo hall between 1967 and 1985. Now the wheel has come full circle, and the building is once again a House of God as The New Harvest Christian Fellowship Church.

Former Salford Town Hall, Bexley Square
The old Salford Town Hall, which was built between 1825 and 1827, sits at the far end of Bexley Square, just off Chapel Street. It is a Grade II listed building (English Heritage ID:471500 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-471500-town-hall- British Listed Buildings).
Detail from an 1849 map http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/outside/salfordThall.html shows that the building was not only home to the business of the Town Hall but also included a police station, fire station and a court house. Today the business of the City of Salford is conducted at Image
The tree-lined square gained notoriety in 1931 when it was the scene of the infamous ‘Battle of Bexley Square’. This was the fight against the government-enforced means test and poverty in Salford, which went on to feature in Walter Greenwood’s play ‘Love on The Dole’ (Image]).
