Now it is very easy to mourn that old Salford of terraced streets, busy, noisy work places, and grimy streets, which at the same time were full of close knit communities.
Much of it has gone, and while some rail against its passing, there is much merit in what has come to replace it.
And before anyone leaps to shout that the shiny glass and steel buildings of today could be pretty much anywhere, I suspect there will have been those who said the same of the rows of terraced houses, mills and big stone office blocks which took the place of the older 18th century properties.
So that said, here is another in that short series, celebrating the new Salford.
