About

Patricroft sits in the southwestern part of Salford, near the border with Trafford. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian terraced housing and more modern developments. Its layout is defined by major roads like Liverpool Road and the Manchester Ship Canal, which historically shaped its industrial growth. Local amenities include several schools, parks, and shopping parades serving the community's day-to-day needs.

The area is historically significant as the site of the former Patricroft railway works and the Bridgewater Canal, which runs through its southern edge. The iconic, Grade II listed Patricroft railway station building remains a local landmark. Industrial heritage is still evident in the architecture and layout, though many former factories have been replaced by new housing and retail units. The community is anchored by local institutions and green spaces like the playing fields near the canal.
