Below are a selection of photographs showing how Salford Precinct is a shadow of what it once was.
Salford Market back when it was busy and vibrant
And Salford Market before demolition. Mostly empty and on its last legs
The front of the Precinct now tatty, litter strewn and mostly empty.
A neglected and forlorn shopping experience
This perfectly sums up Salford Precinct today. Empty. Tatty. And well past its prime.
