Marlborough Road, SALFORD, M7 4ST

A grandiose building that might have seen better days - at the corner of Waterloo Road and Elizabeth Street. The pub part has two rooms with central servery; TV, games machines, darts. There remains a fine tiled hallway. At my visit, no cask ale was available. Update 2022: Stewart Goldwater reports that this building has now been converted into residential flats.

St James' Church, is an active Anglican parish church situated on Great Cheetham Street East at its junction with Leicester Road. The church was built between 1877 and 1879, designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin.

The church was built between 1877 and 1879. It was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin at an estimated cost of £7,000. Samuel Clowes gave the site, and paid £2,800 towards its cost. As built, it seated 600 people. In about 1970 the north aisle was subdivided from the nave. St James' Church is constructed in brick, and it has brick tracery in its windows. It has a tall bellcote at the east end of the nave. The nave windows have pointed arches, while those in the chancel have flat heads. The other features of the church include sheer gables and large buttresses. The authors of the Buildings of England series comment that "it is a good building, but not outstanding, as Paley & Austin's can be". It is situated on Great Cheetham Street East, at the junction with Leicester Road.

This leads down to Lower Broughton. There has been a lot of housing development in this area, much of it social housing. It replaces former commercial land.
