From Derelict Docks to Modern Quays

by sandysmith - last update: Mar 21, 2003

Canal Walkways

salford quays
A great redevelopment of the old Salford Docks to the new Salford Quays,
incorporating the Lowry museum and the Imperial War Museum North.
Amazing modern architectural styles and canal walkways to enjoy.
views from atop

Canal Views

Great views of the Salford Quays can be seen from the viewing platform atop the Imperial War Museum North - as long as you don't suffer from vertigo!

The Bridge is raised!

The Lowry bridge rarely has boats pasing under it so its not often seen in operation - but its fascinating to watch when it does lift up for canal traffic.
Lowwy Bridge is UP
