Broughton

Wed, 14/01/2009 - 19:29 — mickfuzz

Broughton is an inner city area of Salford, in Greater Manchester, England.[1] It lies on the east bank of the River Irwell and A56 road, in the northeastern part of the City of Salford, 1.3 miles (2.1 km) north-northwest of Manchester City Centre and 2.1 miles (3.4 km) south of Prestwich. Broughton consists of Broughton Park, Higher Broughton, Lower Broughton and a part of Kersal.[2] Its immediate proximity to Manchester effectively makes it a suburb of that city, although it is politically and administratively separate.

Historically a part of Lancashire, Broughton anciently constituted a township and chapelry in the parish of Manchester and hundred of Salford.[1] The former manor house, Broughton Hall, belonged to the Chethams and the Stanleys, both of whom were distinguished local families,[2] and later passed, by marriage, to the Clowes family. A part of Broughton was amalgamated into the then Municipal Borough of Salford in 1844, and the remaining area of the township in 1853.[1]
