Club, St Ignatius Way, Salford
Salford Lads' Club, by Henry Lord, 1904. It has a very well preserved interior. The listing states that it was "designed to provide sporting, recreational and performance facilities, and is thought to be the most complete example of this rare form of social provision to survive in England". Paid for by J.G. and W.G. Groves for the residents of the city's first municipal housing estate. Grade II listed.
Still a youth club, probably best known for featuring on an album cover of the Smiths.

There is a light that never goes out!
The light above the fanlight of possibly one of the more famous doorways in British contemporary music is not switched on today, though.

Ordsall Lane railway lands 1977
The view east from Ordsall Lane no.4 signalbox shows a Newcastle-Liverpool train passing amidst a sea of disused railway facilities. Sidings on the left served a gasworks, disused by 1977 while those on the right were for reforming trains. The locomotive is about to pass over the junction between the line from Salford and the link toward Deansgate which physically diverged at Ordsall Lane no.2 signalbox. In the foreground are the remains of the former slow lines between Barton Moss Junction and Manchester Exchange station.
