What is Salford Quays?
'''Salford Quays''' is an area of Salford, at the end of the [[Manchester Ship Canal]]. It was the site of Manchester [[Dock|Docks]], which were opened in 1894 by [[Queen Victoria]]. In 1983, [[Salford City Council]] bought a lot of the land. They started by cleaning the water and stocking it with fish. The Salford Quays Centre for the Performing Arts opened in 2000 and is known as [[The Lowry]]. [[MediaCityUK]] followed. It has both broadcasters and shops.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Quayside MediaCity|url=https://www.mediacityuk.co.uk/spaces/retail/quayside-mediacity/|access-date=2023-03-27|website=Media City UK|language=en-GB}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Salford]]
