Peel Green

Peel Green is a district, which along with Patricroft and Barton-upon-Irwell forms the western end of the town of Eccles, in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. The boundaries between the three areas are today indistinguishable. The area lies within the historic county boundary of Lancashire.TransportPeel Green is split by the M60 motorway, whichs run north-south through its centre. It is served by the following bus services: Cadishead/Manchester 67, Warrington/Trafford Centre/Manchester 100, Brookhouse/Manchester 10 and Brookhouse/Piccadilly 63.EconomyUntil the 1980s Peel Green was dominated by heavy industry, with Gardner's Engine Makers on Hardy Street and the Regent Tyre and Rubber Co, (a subsidiary of Dunlop Tyres) at the Enterprise Works on the corner of Green Street and Clifford Street. These are now closed. With the loss of its industrial base, Peel Green is seeking new types of investment to aid in the renewal of the area.During 2003, the Brookhouse Estate saw curfews imposed on under 16s, a substantial police presence and a security camera erected outside the local shops in Brookhouse Avenue in an effort to tackle crime rate. Salford City Academy, formerly Canon Williamson C.E. High School (and before this Eccles C.E High School), is on the Brookhouse Estate. After substantial redevelopment, the school opened as an academy in September 2006. The school's specialisms are sport and business and enterprise. A separate sixth form centre opened in September 2007 at a cost of £1.8 million. Other schools in the area include St Patrick's Roman Catholic High School.
