Weaste Seedley

Thu, 21/05/2009 - 15:49 — editor

Seedley is an inner city area of Salford, in Greater Manchester, England. It lies west of Pendleton and north of Weaste.

The area is mostly made up of terraced housing, dating from the late 19th century and early 20th century. It was part of the County Borough of Salford in the administrative county of Lancashire. Alistair Cooke, the broadcaster, lived on Newport Street, and went to the primary school as did the artist Harold Riley.

Weaste is an inner city area of Salford, in Greater Manchester, England. It is an industrial area, with many industrial estates. The A57 road passes through Weaste, which lies close to the M602 motorway. Weaste is north of Salford Quays.

The name is from Old French waste meaning "common land, waste". Home to St Luke's church, grade II listed building designed by George Gilbert Scott. Emily Pankhurst, the women's suffragette leader, was married in St Lukes. 19th century cotton firm Ermen & Engels—part-owned by the father of Friedrich Engels—established their second factory in 1837 near Weaste Station, on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway line. A young Friedrich worked for the factory in their offices based around the Royal Exchange, Manchester.

Salford City Reds have their ground at The Willows, built in 1901, on Weaste Lane close to the B5228. In 2009, the rugby league club—the only professional sports club in Salford—is due to move base at a new facility in Barton.

Archaeology with the community!

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
