Our University's past is rooted in the great Industrial Revolution of the 19th Century, which changed the world. Salford's thriving textile industry was fed by the Manchester Ship Canal built, which was opened in 1894 and gave the city direct trade access to the sea. The Salford docks brought employment until the latter half of the 20th Century when the old industries declined. Demand for new industrial skills led to the formation of the Pendleton Mechanics Institute in 1850 and the Salford Working Men's College in 1858. At the end of the Century, they merged to create the Royal Technical Institute, Salford, which was opened by the Duke and Duchess of York (who later beca…
