Nevell, Michael2017
Book
This book captures the latest archaeological and historical work into this thriving inland port. It studies the precursors of the 1894 port, the Mersey and Irwell Navigation opened in 1736, and the first Salford Quay opened in 1755 and the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal opened in 1797. The rest of the book looks at the building of the 'big ditch', ships and cargoes on the canal and the warehouses and functioning of the new Salford Docks,. The story is brought up-to-date with a study of the transformation of the docks into Salford Quays.
