About

Ordsall ward lies on the western bank of the River Irwell, directly opposite Manchester city centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of social housing and modern apartment developments. Major transport corridors, including the A57 Regent Road, define its edges and provide key connections. Historically an industrial district, its landscape is now dominated by the contemporary architecture of Salford Quays and MediaCityUK, which occupies a significant portion of the ward's southern section.

The area's history is deeply tied to the Manchester Ship Canal, which meets the Irwell here. Ordsall Hall, a medieval timber-framed manor house surrounded by modern housing, serves as a museum and community venue. Residential streets are interspersed with local retail parks and community facilities, with the Lowry Centre and Imperial War Museum North acting as major cultural anchors on the waterfront, drawing visitors into the ward.
