Lower Broughton is a suburb of the City of Salford, adjoining and immediately to the west of Manchester. A Roman road ran through the area and the township of Broughton dates back to 1177. The manor of the area was for several centuries in the ownership and control of the wealthy Clowes family with the buildings erected in the Higher Broughton area including many family villas and other imposing edifices whereas the Lower Broughton area became a mass of terraced houses, most of which were demolished in the slum clearances schemes of the 1960s and 1970s.
