About Irlam and the 0161 Area Code
Irlam is a town in the City of Salford, located along the Manchester Ship Canal approximately eight miles west of Manchester city centre. Together with neighbouring Cadishead, Irlam forms a distinct community separated from surrounding areas by the canal, Chat Moss, and the Mersey Valley. The town's history is closely tied to the steel industry, with the Irlam steelworks operating for much of the 20th century before closure in the 1970s.
Irlam has benefited from significant regeneration, including the development of the former steelworks site and improved community facilities. The town has its own railway station on the Liverpool to Manchester line via the Chat Moss route, one of the world's earliest passenger railways. Irlam and Cadishead also sit at the edge of Chat Moss, a vast area of peatland with important ecological value, and close to the Salford Friendly trail network.
Despite its relatively compact size, Irlam's distinct geographical identity and strong community cohesion make a local presence particularly valuable for businesses in trades, services, and retail seeking loyal customers in Salford's western communities.
