General information
General information
The Quays is Greater Manchester's unique waterfront. You could say that the redevelopment of Salford Quays has created a world-class business, cultural and residential area of great national and regional significance. More people now work at the Quays than in its heyday as a major seaport. The Quays have also become a stylish residential area with an excellent tram service to West Salford, Altrincham and Manchester city centre.
Key milestones such as the opening of The Lowry in 2000, with its theatres, galleries, shops, bars, restaurant and conference facilities, along with the Digital World Centre and the Lowry Outlet Mall and leisure development, have marked a major watershed in the sustainable regeneration of the area.
The Quays has established itself as an excellent tourist destination with a wealth of world-class entertainment, sporting, leisure and cultural facilities.
