The Quays

The Quays is the area where Salford and Trafford meet, a beautiful waterside development grown from the once derelict landscape of what used to be a thriving dockland.

It started with The Lowry. This stunner of a building houses three theatre spaces, galleries showing the work of LS Lowry and contemporary artists plus a restaurant, shop and bars. This amazing venue was soon followed by Imperial War Museum North, the Lowry Outlet Mall, and MediaCityUK is to be found there too, amongst many other attractions, hotels and places to eat and drink.

Over the years since The Lowry opened in 2000 it has become a model of how to make regeneration work.
