Swinton, Residential town in Salford, England
Swinton stretches across a suburban area five miles west of Manchester city centre, featuring a combination of traditional Victorian buildings and modern developments.
The town, mentioned in the Domesday Book as Swintone, underwent rapid expansion during the 19th century due to coal mining and textile manufacturing industries.
St Peter's Church, constructed in the early 19th century, stands as a central religious landmark alongside numerous community spaces for local gatherings and activities.
The town maintains strong transportation connections through multiple bus routes and train services linking residents to Manchester and neighboring districts.
Swinton Park and Clifton Country Park provide extensive green spaces within the urban setting, offering recreational facilities for outdoor activities throughout the year.
