Winnipeg Quay, SALFORD, M50 3TY

Three-storey apartments on Winnipeg Quay. Salford Quays became one of the first and largest urban regeneration projects in the United Kingdom following the closure of the Manchester and Salford dockyards in 1982. Some of the first developments in Salford Quays were residential. The initial builds consisted of traditional low-rise flats and town houses in Merchants Quay which is on East Wharf South between piers 6 and 7, and in Grain Wharf which is located at the centre of the Quays (and whose name reflects the land's previous use, when imported grain was delivered by ship and transferred to the railway network that ran the length of Pier 8 (Central Wharf). Winnipeg Quay is one of three matching developments (Winnipeg Quay and Vancouver Quay to the west, and St Lawrence Quay to the east of Mariners Canal) in Grain Wharf. Built between 1985 and 1995, Grain Wharf consists of a combination of two and three bedroom town houses and apartments, none exceeding four storeys in height. The development is noted for its distinctly symmetrical layout.
