- Blackfriars, Greater Manchester
Blackfriars is a small inner-city area of Salford, England situated along the River Irwell between Manchester City Centre and Broughton. Blackfriars contains Blackfriars Park, one of Salford's smaller parks[Parks in Broughton & Blackfriars [http://www.salford.gov.uk/leisure/parks/parksinsalford/publicparks/parks-bb.htm] ] and is home to the Friars Primary School][The Friars School [http://www.salford.gov.uk/school-details.htm?school=3002038] ] .]Due to slum clearance very few buildings in Blackfriars now predate the 1960s. One notable exception is the 1871 Broughton Tavern[Broughton Tavern [http://www.24dash.com/news/Housing/2008-02-28-Hazel-Blears-to-open-Irwell-Valleys-affordable-penthouses] ] on Blackfriars Road, which has now been converted into homes for shared ownership.] References
