Structure by the Irwell
This hexagonal structure, by the north side of Wooden Street footbridge across the River Irwell, looks rather like a bandstand. Behind is Steele House.

Riverside Path at Ordsall
The footpath follows the Salford bank of the Irwell (and then the Manchester Ship Canal) allowing one to walk between (close to) the city centre and Salford Quays. The nineteenth century Woden Street footbridge can be seen ahead.

River Irwell at St George's
Looking upstream (towards the city centre) from Woden Street Footbridge. The Irwell is the traditional boundary between the cities of Salford (on the left) and Manchester (on the right). Behind the railway viaduct on the right-hand side is the Bridgewater Canal and the area known as "St George's Island" (or just "St George's").

Hulme Lock, Bridgewater Canal, Manchester
This lock dropped boats from the Bridgewater Canal to the River Irwell (and to the Manchester Ship Canal). The River Medlock enters the Irwell next to the bottom gates. The railway viaducts above carry the line from Liverpool to Manchester Oxford Road, and the Metrolink trams. This lock is now disused, a new lock at Pomona connecting the Bridgewater with Salford Quays.

Woden Street Footbridge
This footbridge, constructed in 1873, spans the River Irwell at the end of Woden Street, Ordsall, Salford and links Salford with Manchester. Manchester is on the right bank of the river as seen here. This bridge is also known as Mark Addy's Bridge in honour of a local man, Mark Addy (1838-1890), who owned a riverside tavern and is reputed to have saved at least 50 people from drowning in the river.
