River Park Meadows

River Park Meadows provides the northern green anchor of Irwell River Park. It will improve linkages between the core of the Regional Centre, the University of Salford, Chapel Street, Greengate and the communities along the Anaconda section of the river.

New cultural, media and heritage opportunities are emerging at Chapel Street and Islington Mill, creating a new hub for the creative industries sector.

River Park Meadows will also provide a link between Chapel Street and the University of Salford, helping to consolidate the knowledge capital linkages between the cities’ major educational establishments.

Key developments within River Park Meadows include:

Revitalising The Meadows, creating a six hectare ecologically focused green space with walkways and wetlands for local people, students and visitors to enjoy.

Two new footbridges will overcome the isolation of the area, linking the newly transformed Chapel Street corridor to the University of Salford and the historic Peel Park.

Environmental improvements along the Anaconda stretch of the riverside, facilitating a sustainable, accessible and safe linkage from The Meadows to Greengate.

New waterside spaces will help reinvigorate this stretch of riverside, linking communities in Broughton and Irwell Riverside back to the Irwell.

The Kings Arms & Studio Salford

For over a century the three main buildings on Bloom street were the Corporation Gas Offices, Salford House and The Kings Arms. The Gas Offices closed long ago and the last residents of the hostel left in the 1990's but happily The Kings Arms is still in business. First licenced in 1807 The Kings Arms now prides itself on real ale, real people, real food, real music and real theatre. Over the last six years, under the current management, The Kings Arms has established itself as the best pub in the world.

With a good selection of real ale, fresh home cooked food, an award winning theatre space & music venue, artist studios and a lovely garden, The Kings has really found its place within the community as a meeting ground for the good people of Salford & Manchester.
