Exchange Quay The Manchester Ship Canal
passes beneath the Trafford Road Swing Bridge on its way into the
Pamona Docks. Beside the bridge, on the Salford side, is Exchange
Quay, an area that in 1948 was occupied by some comercial buildings and
rows of terraced houses. Some of the empty plots in the image
above are probably due to bomb damage from the 1941 raids. If you
visit Exchange Quay today it looks significantly differerent.
The Exchange Quay web site says
this of the development: "EQ provides high-class modern
accommodation which combines with the wealth of leisure, retail and
business amenities of Salford Quays to create a '24 hour' living,
breathing and constantly evolving working environment." It
comprises 8 buildings.
