Salford Police Station

The structure was crafted by the architectural firm Bradshaw, Gass & Hope, utilizing brick and Portland stone, and it officially opened its doors in 1957. Inside, a stone plaque remains mounted on a wall, commemorating the occasion with the inscription: 'This building was opened on 24th September 1957 by the Right Honourable The Earl of Derby MC who unveiled this stone.' Initially serving as the headquarters for Salford City Police and the C.I.D Division, the building transitioned to the GMP Salford Division Headquarters in 1974 after the merger of police forces in Greater Manchester, ultimately ceasing operations in 2005.

Following its closure, development plans emerged, and a November 2011 article in The Manchester Evening News revealed that the building was slated for demolition, a decision that was fortunately halted at the last moment. Salford Council has expressed a desire to preserve the facade and integrate it into any future redevelopment. In 2012, they emphasized: "When considering their proposals, interested parties should be aware that the vendor, Salford City Council, has a clear preference for a high-quality and imaginative scheme that, if possible, retains the former police station, or as much of that building as is feasible. Major elements of the existing facades, particularly those facing Crescent and Albion Place, are regarded as especially valuable. The property could accommodate a variety of potential uses, pending planning approval."
