Walkden is a town in Salford’s Metropolitan Borough, sitting between the A580 East Lancashire Road and the leafier village of Worsley to the south. The housing stock includes a mix of Victorian terraced housing in the older parts of Walkden town centre, and a significant amount of post-war semis and detached properties around Boothstown and the Roe Green area. The area was substantially redeveloped in the 1960s and 1970s, giving it a more varied housing mix than some neighbouring towns, with staircase configurations that reflect each different era of building.
