Irlams o' th' Height

Irlams o' th' Height is a suburb of Salford, Greater Manchester, England, on top of the Irwell Valley, on higher ground than Pendleton, hence the name.

Thirty buildings are recognised as being of archaeological or historic interest in the Greater Manchester Sites and Monuments Register.

[1] Since the end of the 16th century, there had been an inn on the turnpike road from Manchester and Salford towards Chorley, Preston and Lancaster called the Pack Horse.

One of the main features of Irlams o' th' Height is the A6 dual carriageway running through it; Bolton Road, which was formerly the A6, lies parallel.

Among those buried there is Geoff Bent, one of eight Manchester United players who died as a result of the Munich air disaster in February 1958.

[3] Irlams o' th' Height has a large number of Manchester United fans, being home to past managers and players and pubs holding supporters' meetings.
