is flattest at the See also:south where it joins the See also:Manchester boundary. At the other extremity of Salford it joins the See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf. Ger. Burg, Fr. bor, bore, bourg)
- BOROUGH [BURROUGH, BURROWE, BORROWS], STEVEN (1525–1584)
borough of See also:Eccles. The See also:chief railway station is See also:Exchange station, which is in Salford, but has its See also:main approach in Manchester. The See also:Lancashire & See also:Yorkshire and the See also:London & See also:North-Western See also:railways serve the See also:town.
Until 1634 Salford was entirely dependent upon Manchester in its ecclesiastical arrangements. In that See also:year Sacred Trinity See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church (' Salford See also:Chapel ") was built and endowed under the will of See also:Humphrey See also:Booth the See also:elder, who also founded charities which have grown greatly in value. The yearly income of more than £17,000 is disposed of in See also:pensions and in See also:hospital grants. His See also:grandson, Humphrey Booth the younger, See also:left See also:money for the repair of the church and the See also:residue is distributed amongst the poor. The yearly See also:revenue is about £1400. Salford is the seat of a See also:Roman See also:Catholic bishopric, and its See also:cathedral, St See also:John's, with its See also:spire of 240 ft., is the most noteworthy ecclesiastical See also:building in the borough. Salford has been to a large extent overshadowed by Manchester, and the two boroughs, in spite of their See also:separate See also:government, are so closely connected as to be one See also:great See also:urban See also:area. Many of the institutions in Manchester are intended for the service also of Salford, which, however, has resisted all attempts at municipal amalgamation.
The chief public buildings are the museum and See also:art See also:gallery at See also:Peel See also:Park, the technical school, the See also:education offices and the Salford Hospital. The town See also:- HALL
- HALL (generally known as SCHWABISCH-HALL, tc distinguish it from the small town of Hall in Tirol and Bad-Hall, a health resort in Upper Austria)

hall, built in 1825, is no longer adequate for municipal needs. See also:Broughton and See also:Pendleton have each a separate town hall. The large and flourishing technical school was See also:developed from a See also:mechanics' institution. Peel Park, bought by public subscription in 1846, was the first public recreation ground in the borough. In the grounds are Langworthy Gallery and a museum. In the park are statues of See also:Queen See also:Victoria, the See also:Prince See also:Consort, See also:Sir See also:Robert Peel, See also:Joseph Brotherton and See also:Richard See also:Cobden. The only other See also:monument—a South See also:African See also:War memorial—is outside and almost opposite Peel Park. Other parks are at Seedley, See also:Albert and Buile See also:- HILL
- HILL (0. Eng. hyll; cf. Low Ger. hull, Mid. Dutch hul, allied to Lat. celsus, high, collis, hill, &c.)

Hill; the last contains a museum, the contents of which have been transferred from Peel Park. There is also Kersal See also:Moor, 21 acres of Moorland, crossed by a Roman road, which has been noticed for the variety of its See also:flora, and for the See also:capture of the Decophara Woodiella, of which there is no other recorded See also:habitat. The See also:David See also:Lewis recreation ground at Pendleton may also be named. Altogether Salford has See also:thirty parks andlopen spaces having a See also:total area of 217 acres. The See also:corporation have also provided two cemeteries.
When the municipal museum was founded in 1849 a reference library formed See also:part of the institution, and from this has developed a See also:free library See also:system in which there are also nine lending See also:libraries.
The commercial and See also:industrial See also:history of Salford is closely See also:bound up with that of Manchester. It is the seat of extensive See also:cotton, See also:iron, chemical and allied See also:industries. It owes its development to the See also:steam-See also:engine and the factory system, and in See also:recent years has shared in the increase of See also:trade owing to the construction of the Manchester See also:Ship See also:Canal, which has added greatly to its prosperity. This will be seen by an examination of the rateable value of the three townships now comprised in the borough. This in 1692 was £1404; in 1841, £244,853; in 1884, £734,220; in 1901, £967,727; in 1908-1909, £1,022,172.
The municipal government is in the hands of a town See also:council consisting of 16 aldermen and 48 councillors elected in 16 wards. The See also:water-See also:supply is from Manchester. The corporation have an excellent See also:tramway service. There are also municipal See also:baths. Salford has a separate See also:commission of the See also:peace.
There are no certain figures as to the See also:population before 1773, when at the instance of Dr See also:- THOMAS
- THOMAS (c. 1654-1720)
- THOMAS (d. 110o)
- THOMAS, ARTHUR GORING (1850-1892)
- THOMAS, CHARLES LOUIS AMBROISE (1811-1896)
- THOMAS, GEORGE (c. 1756-1802)
- THOMAS, GEORGE HENRY (1816-187o)
- THOMAS, ISAIAH (1749-1831)
- THOMAS, PIERRE (1634-1698)
- THOMAS, SIDNEY GILCHRIST (1850-1885)
- THOMAS, ST
- THOMAS, THEODORE (1835-1905)
- THOMAS, WILLIAM (d. 1554)
Thomas See also:Percival a See also:census was taken of Manchester and Salford. The latter had then 4755 inhabitants. Census returns show that its population in 18o1 was 14,497; in. 1851, 63,85o; and in 1901, 220,956. The See also:death-See also:rate in 1906 was 18.5 per thousand.
Within the See also:present borough area there have been found See also:neolithic implements and See also:British urns, as well as Roman coins. In 1851 traces of a Roman road were still visible. Domesday See also:Book mentions Salford as held by See also:Edward the See also:Confessor and as having a See also:forest three leagues See also:long and the same broad. At the See also:Conquest it was part of the domain granted to See also:Roger of See also:Poitou, but reverted to the See also:crown in 1102. After successively belonging to the earls of See also:Chester and of See also:Derby it passed to Edward Crouch back, See also:earl of See also:Lancaster. It was erected into a duchy and See also:county See also:palatine in 1353, and when the See also:house of Lancaster succeeded to the See also:throne their Lancashire possessions were kept separate. Salford and Pendleton are still parts of the See also:ancient duchy of Lancaster, belonging to the See also:English crown. In 1231 Ranulf de Blundeville, earl of Chester, granted a See also:charter constituting Salford a " free borough." But the government notwithstanding was essentially manorial and not municipal. In the See also:Civil See also:Wars between See also:Charles I. and the See also:parliament, Salford was royalist,
and the unsuccessful See also:siege of Manchester was conducted from its See also:side of the Irwell. Its later history is mainly identical with that of Manchester (q.v.). In 1844 it received a municipal charter and became a county borough in 1889.
