About Walkden and the 0161 Area Code
Walkden is a town in the City of Salford, situated approximately seven miles north-west of Manchester city centre. The town has grown from a small mining village into a substantial suburban centre, with the Ellesmere Shopping Centre and surrounding retail areas providing a comprehensive local shopping offer. Walkden has seen considerable new housing development in recent years, bringing a growing population of young families and commuters to the area.
The town benefits from good transport links, with Walkden railway station offering services to Manchester Victoria and Bolton, and regular bus connections to Manchester, Salford, and Leigh. The neighbouring area of Worsley is one of Salford's most prestigious addresses, centred on the picturesque Worsley Delph, where the Bridgewater Canal — the pioneering waterway that launched the canal age — emerges from underground mines. The Roe Green conservation village adds further character.
