Ordsall is a ward in Salford, on the western bank of the River Irwell opposite Manchester city centre in Greater Manchester. It combines Victorian terraces and pockets of post‑industrial land, with the Tudor manor Ordsall Hall at its heart and the transport landmark Ordsall Chord nearby.
Once heavy with mills and warehousing, the area has seen significant regeneration and sits close to the redeveloped waterfront at Salford Quays and the media cluster at MediaCityUK, attracting new housing and businesses while retaining a socially mixed community and active local groups working on heritage and neighbourhood improvements.
