Salford Quays audio tour

Salford Quays has lived many lives, and this audio walking tour traces all of them.When British industry boomed during the Industrial Revolution, Salford became one of the ports that kept Manchester moving. You will hear about the story of that rise, and the long decline that followed, and the remarkable regeneration that transformed these docks into one of the most dynamic waterfronts in the north of England.Starting at The Lowry theatre, you'll pass historic dock buildings, learn about the lives of the workers who kept the port running, and follow the waterway through to Media City, where a new kind of industry has taken root. GPS technology guides you along the route at your own pace, with commentary delivered straight to your earphones. The app works offline throughout, and there are plenty of spots to stop for refreshments along the way.
