About

Cadishead & Lower Irlam is a residential ward in the westernmost part of the City of Salford, bordering the Manchester Ship Canal and the wider Warrington and Halton areas. The landscape is largely characterised by postwar housing estates, local retail parades, and significant areas of industrial land along the major waterways. The community is served by several primary schools and its own secondary school, with green spaces including Little Woolden Moss providing local recreational areas.

The ward's history and economy are deeply connected to the Manchester Ship Canal and the former industrial sites that line its banks. A notable local feature is the series of movable bridges, including the Cadishead Viaduct, which cross the canal and the River Irwell, defining the area's transport links. Public transport connections to central Salford and Manchester are provided primarily by bus services, with the Liverpool to Manchester railway line passing through nearby Irlam station.
