Seen here from West Egerton Street, the gasholders of the former Liverpool Street Gasworks made famous in Ewan McColl's "Dirty Old Town" ("I found my love by the gasworks croft/Dreamed a dream by the old canal…" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baFIaOGkN90 ) appear to be all that remains of Salford Gas Works. The position of the gasometers (and those that used to be nearby at Regent Road) can be seen on the OS map of 1896 http://goo.gl/f2eiLr .

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.

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.
