The Venue of the Salford Local History Society
|
The meetings of the Salford Local History Society are held in what must be the finest venue for any society in the whole of Lancashire.
They are held in the warm spacious surroundings of the Victorian Gallery, among some of the city's finest art treasures.
The building used to exhibit Salford's world famous collection of L. S. Lowry paintings, before their transfer to The Lowry theatre and exhibition centre at Salford Quays.
The paintings have now been replaced by LifeTimes, an exhibition that portrays the history of Salford and its people, over the last two hundred years.
The building is also home to Lark Hill Place, a reconstructed street built up from original fabric and artifacts preserved from old Salford buildings from the past, before their demolition.
The street is mainly Victorian, but has features from other periods of Salford's unique history.
The Lark Hill Place exhibition is fifty years old in 2007
