Local List consultation 2026

Salford City Council’s Local List of Heritage Assets was produced in 2013 and although some additions have been made since then, we have now undertaken a full review and propose the following:

  • The addition of 140 assets

  • The removal of 41 assets 

  • Minor amendments to the selection criteria 

This would take the proposed number of assets on the Local List to 370 subject to cabinet approval following consultation. The selection criteria can be seen below with the amendments highlighted in bold.

The draft Local List can be downloaded in full or by ward below.

How to make comments on the draft Local List

All comments must be received no later than 4.30pm on Monday 14 September 2026. Please note this has been extended due to Greater Manchester mayoral election. We will not be able to accept comments that are received after this deadline.

Criteria

Description

1

Architectural interest

Buildings and structures of an architectural design, decoration and craftsmanship that contributes positively to their environment and offer a composition that affords value, in its proportions, materials and construction.

2

Historical interest

A building, object or place that is connected with Salford, Greater Manchester or the north west's social, economic and cultural growth and development, or is concerned with a person or event that plays a significant role in local or regional cultural heritage.

  1. War Memorials - memorials and monuments that commemorate those fallen.

  1. Archaeological Interest - if an asset is known to hold, or could potentially hold, evidence relating to an earlier phase of past human activity in Salford (below ground).

3

Age

Local heritage assets will be considered from all periods. However, particular attention will be given to buildings that pre-date 1919 and therefore contribute to the principal industrial era under which the city established itself. Nevertheless, there are many 20th century buildings of impeccable design that must be considered due to their own cultural merits.

4

Aesthetic value

The appearance of buildings, monuments, places and landscapes, including groups of buildings that individually or together form a set piece or characterise a townscape. Particular attention will be given to style, design, materials, composition and layout.

5

Local interest

  1. People and events - buildings and landscapes associated with influential people and events.

  1. Industrial heritage - buildings and landscapes that represent most strongly Salford as a place different from other areas of the region or even within Greater Manchester.

  1. Waterways - Salford has a number of significant waterways that represent the history and development of the district.

6

Group value

The collective value of a townscape or landscape where individually assets have limited value, yet together comprise a common theme important to the growth of the city or with attractive aesthetic properties.

7

Landmark value

Assets that have historically marked important moments in the landscape, provide punctuation to streets or mark arrival points.

8

Social or communal value

Assets that are of value to a particular residential commercial, historical, religious or interest group.
