Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Salford

This page lists our maps in the City of Salford, an area which includes the towns of Swinton, Pendlebury, Eccles and Walkden. The detail varies from the great docks at the end of the Manchester Ship Canal, to the mining district around Walkden, to the half timbered housing of Worsley. Further information about individual maps is given on our On-line Mapshop.

This group of maps covers the Worsley area, including Walkden, a mixture of great houses, half-timbered villas, mills and mines, the latter served by the unique underwater canals developed by the Duke of Bridgewater as well as the Bridgewater Estate railway network.
