About

Swinton Newtown sits within the town of Swinton in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester. It is a mainly residential pocket made up of nineteenth‑century terraces and later housing, arranged in a compact grid behind the main road. Local streets funnel toward Swinton railway station, which provides regular services into Manchester and west toward Wigan, and shopping parades and small businesses line the principal routes. Community buildings and local pubs sit close to the transport hub, keeping everyday needs within a short walk for many residents.

Facilities include primary schools, churches and a community centre that runs clubs and events. A public park with a sports pitch lies within easy reach and is used for weekend matches and play. The street pattern still reflects the area’s growth during the industrial period: long terraces with short rear yards and narrow streets set close together. That compact layout means most homes are only minutes from shops and transport, shaping routines around short walks and frequent rail and bus links to other parts of Salford.
