Quote ="Fungus The Muffin Man"
The problem with salford is it's lack of central identity due to the mediocre shopping centre and the lack of "hub to Salford. It doesn't look like a city infact towns like rochdale, Bury, Bolton look more substantial and "city like"'"
Which is precisely why the council is attempting to create a city identity through ventures such as the regeneration of the Quays and Chapel St.
Also, I wouldn't necessarily define a city by whether it has a centre like the aforementioned. You'll find that many cities in the UK lack the kind of town centre you mention. Winchester, Cambridge and Cirencester for example.
Hey, I was under the impression that Salford people were proud of their heritage and distinction from Manchester. Perhaps less so than I thought.
Salford'll still be here
