History of Pendlebury
Pendlebury is closely associated with L.S. Lowry, who lived on Station Road for 42 years. Agecroft Colliery, which closed in 1991, was one of the area's defining industrial landmarks. Pendlebury was incorporated into the City of Salford in 1926 when the city's boundaries were significantly extended to encompass the surrounding mining and textile communities of the wider Salford area.
Understanding the history and character of Pendlebury helps explain why the housing stock here may be well suited for home insulation installations. Victorian and Edwardian properties often have solid or cavity walls typical of the era, where insulation improvements can be particularly effective in the Salford climate.
