Salford city lies in the Greater Manchester area to the west of Manchester city and has a rich history dating back to the Neolithic Age. In the late 1700's, Salford was little more than a village on the River Irwell, but the Industrial Revolution saw people flocking to the town to work in the new textile factories and resulted in a massive population boom. In the 18th and 19th centuries Salford was a major cotton, silk, and weaving factory town and an inland port on the Manchester Ship Canal. Salford was granted city status in 1926 and, today, the city is home to over 245,000 people. The city boasts over 250 listed buildings, including Salford Cathedral and three ancient monument sites.

* Unfortunately, many grave locations were not recorded in the historic registers from Weaste cemetery and, as such, we are unable to display a location or other occupants for approximately half of the Weaste records.
