Sacred Trinity - Bexley - New Bailey Walking Tour with Jonathan Schofield

Amazing churches, great pubs and big plans. And a fabulous view.

Chapel Street and Greengate are the centre of old Salford with an outstanding history including invading armies, dole protests, novelists and songwriters, elegant generals, important newspaper editors and huge 21st century re-invention. There are love stories, ghost stories, drunk stories, atomic bunkers and, of course, penalty shoot-outs from 1906 at the famous Flat Iron Market. There are also new plans and new buildings and new squares.

This area has come vibrantly to life once more and we’ll look at all of it on this tour.
