Irlam is a town in Salford on the south bank of the Manchester Ship Canal. The town grew significantly as a planned industrial settlement in the early twentieth century and the housing reflects that practical, functional character. The housing stock is predominantly post-war — council-built semis from the 1950s and 60s along Liverpool Road and the surrounding streets, along with later private housing estates from the 1970s and 80s. Some older properties can be found closer to the original canal-side town centre, where the housing stock is more varied.
