St. Ambrose Lane, SALFORD, M6 5TE

Although much of the housing stock in this area is earmarked for demolition some will be retained. Here can be seen a gated entry (or alley, or ginnel - take your pick!) at the rear of Highfield Road. Although many object to such gating schemes they do seem to improve the areas involved and allow the residents to make better use of them. Vandalism and the dumping of litter are much reduced.

Langworthy Park is an elevated area of municipal parkland surrounded by the Victorian terraced housing of "old" Salford. It gets its common, local name from the views of the rooftops it commands. This park is the "Red Rec" of Coronation Street (a British soap opera depicting life in the Salford area of England)! See -- Image

The street meets Langworthy Road at the pictured junction.

Here is a view looking down Liverpool Street in Langworthy, a district of central Salford. Langworthy Park is located behind the wall across the road. As can be seen from the hedges behind the rails, ground level in the park is roughly at the top of the walls seen here. The park is elevated above the surrounding streets and is known locally as "Chimney Pots Park" for the good rooftop views it provides (very "Coronation Street" type views). The housing stock in the vicinity is mostly Victorian terraced housing, much of which is being demolished.

A street typical of the type surrounding "Chimney Pots Park" (Langworthy Park). Many of the houses in this area lie empty, awaiting redevelopment. Taken from SJ807987.
