About Eccles and the 0161 Area Code
Eccles is a town in the City of Salford, situated approximately four miles west of Manchester city centre. The town is forever associated with the Eccles cake, the flaky pastry filled with currants that has been made here since at least the late 18th century and is now enjoyed across the world. Eccles has a long history as a market town and became an important centre during the Industrial Revolution, with cotton mills and engineering works shaping its growth.
Today, Eccles benefits from outstanding transport connections. The town has its own Metrolink tram stop, providing direct services to Manchester city centre, MediaCityUK at Salford Quays, and the Trafford Centre. The M602 motorway links Eccles to the M60 and M62, placing Liverpool and Leeds within easy reach. The Bridgewater Canal, one of Britain's first industrial canals, passes through the area and is now a popular leisure waterway.
Eccles serves a substantial residential community across Salford's western neighbourhoods, including Monton, Winton, and Patricroft, offering businesses a well-recognised and conveniently located west Manchester presence.
