St James' Church, Higher Broughton

The architectural firm Sharpe, Paley and Austin designed this church in 1879 during a period of rapid industrial growth in the Salford region.

The church maintains regular religious services while providing space for local community gatherings, social events, and educational activities throughout the year.

Located at the intersection of Great Cheetham Street East and Grecian Street North, the church remains active with multiple weekly services.

The building stands on elevated ground, with its stone construction incorporating iron elements that represent the transition between traditional and industrial materials.
