When Was Salford? Happy 100th Birthday 2026 marks the hundreth annivesray of two things I hold in great affection - my mother (who's one hundred in November), and the City of Salford (where I worked at the University for over a decade, and where I began my professional archaeology career). Indeed, today, 21st April, marks the 100th anniversary of the granting of city status to Salford. The Greater Manchester city is perhaps best known in the 2020s for its links to popular music culture (Salford Lads Club, The Smiths), sport (the eponymous football and rugby league clubs), the Lowry arts centre, Media City by the old Salford Docks, and its continuing cultural tussle with its sibling across the River Irwell, Manchester.

Once in a blue moon I discover something worthy of an academic paper - in this case, a redating of the seizure of Rochester Castle by the Magna Carta rebels in 1215.
