My partner lives 15 minutes walk away from Salford Quays in Pendleton by Salford precinct, I live in Liverpool but spend a lot of my time there so I’m very familiar with everything in this video, it’s where I go on nice days to sit in the sun, have a coffee and listen to music, it looks great on a sunny day. 👍
So true. I think it's a bit futuristic looking in places too
Would love to visit there as its home to my favourite soap Corrie.
Ah yes
You can tour it too on Weekends!

This brings back some good memories when my daughter lived at Salford quays on the 17 floor I think when she was teaching in Manchester now lives east Asia. A good memorise going to see warhorse at the Lowry theatre also her graduation at the bridge water hall, happy days!
I bet Warhorse was amazing!
Was it a huge puppet horse thing?
@@GimbalWalkTV yes it was, if you get the chance to get tickets you must see it, thank you for all your filming I have been to some lovely places from the comfort of my armchair!❤️
I enjoyed the video and the Walk it looked a nice day.enjoyed the scenery nice to see where coronation street made have a great day
Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express a few years ago when my husband was on a business trip. I really enjoyed the area to walk around during the day. The War Museum is excellent. Also The Lowry.
Love it at Salford Quays. Used to go regular with my lad when he was younger for shows at the Lowry and stay overnight at the Premier Inn.
Maybe do a follow up walk on the other side past the BBC building and Lowry Theatre and shops.
I will do for sure
Well that looked nice but i bet it can be a bit dreary on a cold winters day!
Oh yes
Very nice. Good music but a change is due.
❤️
Salford Quays isn't in Manchester. Salford has its own Council. It's in Greater Manchester and like Old Trafford isn't in Manchester. Rochdale and Bolton aren't in Manchester but in Greater Manchester. Manchester is only the 8/9th largest city in the UK.
Thank you didn’t know that
😂😂😂😂
I remember when that area made useful products.
What was produced there?
@@GimbalWalkTV Heavy engineering, Kelloggs, I worked at GEC for a while. My 1981 map of Manchester shows loads of factories, mills, and warehouses together with extensive docks. All still there in 1997 map, producing necessary goods. Enjoy your videos.
