This view is from Arthur Millwood Court in Salford, looking south-east towards Trinity Way and the River Irwell, which forms the administrative boundary between Salford and Manchester.

The top photo is from March 2009 during the depths of the global financial crisis.

The bottom photo is from a September 2024 and shows the incredible change that has been delivered over the past decade with the introduction of New Bailey: a mixed use development which forms part of the 50 acre Salford Central Masterplan delivered by English Cities Fund - a strategic partnership between Muse, Homes England, and Legal & General - in collaboration with Salford City Council.

This includes, from left to right, 3 New Bailey (157,000 sqft); 4 New Bailey (175,000 sqft); NCP car park (635 spaces); 2 New Bailey Square (188,500 sqft); Eden (115,000 sqft); NCP car park (633 spaces); and, the Graphite Building (135 apartments).

Huge thanks to Salix Homes for their help with the recent photograph.
