About

Broughton East sits within the City of Salford in Greater Manchester, just north of Manchester city centre and arranged along the River Irwell. The area is made up largely of terraced streets laid out during the 19th century, with pockets of later housing and small commercial stretches that serve day-to-day needs. Bus routes along the main roads connect the ward to the city centre and to nearby stations, and the river corridor provides walking links and floodplain open space that local residents use for short walks and dog exercise.

Local amenities include primary schools, small shopping parades and community centres that host clubs and events. Industrial heritage is visible in converted mill buildings and long rows of workers’ housing, and allotments and pocket parks sit between residential streets. Day-to-day life focuses on close-knit street-level activity rather than tourist facilities, and ongoing housing and public-space projects mean the look and use of particular streets can change over a few years.
