"Another beautiful example of a Grade I listed building in the city, the Bluecoat has 300 years of history and is a central hub of visual art, literature, dance, music, and family entertainment.

"The May Blitz of 1941 saw St Luke’s church forever changed when a bomb landed right on top of it’s roof.

The church itself and the gardens around it are a total treat for the eye."

"Buile Hill Park is, for many, the pillar of the Salford community. Situated in Seedley and Pendleton, it is the largest park in the city, and also the second oldest behind Peel Park.

Buile Hill Park has a significant history, with close links to the artist LS Lowry, as well as being used as a military base in both world wars."
