About

Eccles ward is situated in the southwest of Salford, bordering the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Irwell. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of Victorian terraced housing and more modern developments. Its central focus is the historic market town of Eccles itself, which provides local shopping and services along the pedestrianized precinct. The ward also contains several industrial estates and green spaces, including the large, open area around the canal.

A defining local feature is the Eccles Cake, a spiced currant pastry that originated here. The ward is well-connected by public transport, with a major Metrolink tram terminus and railway station providing links to central Manchester and Salford Quays. The Bridgewater Canal runs through the area, and the former Monton Green windmill stands as a local landmark within the ward's boundaries.
