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]

Archaeology with the community!

Wed, 02/12/2009 - 10:10 — sadmike

Hand with treasure

Archaeology with the community!
There is a new Research Centre for Applied Archaeology at the University of Salford (but based in the CUBE building on Portland Street in Manchester).

The work of the Centre includes involving people from local communities, helping them to learn more about the history of their locality, and the chance to be trained in archaeological techniques. This might also be an interesting way to encourage both physical activity and learning!

If any local community group or school wants to know more, or become involved in digging up the past, they should contact:

Mike Nevell (Head of Archaeology) m.d.nevell@salford.ac.uk or Brian Grimsditch (Community Archaeologist) b.grimsditch@salford.ac.uk
