Irlam
This town in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, sitting on the north bank of the Manchester Ship Canal, which shaped its growth as an inland port after 1894. The canal divides Irlam from neighbouring Flixton to the southeast, and the northern half of the town retains working moss land and a farming community, giving the area a varied character unusual for a Greater Manchester suburb.
