Fascinating story told by genuine historians without ego many thanks Tony et al. Interestingly Edward Langworthy worth 680 Million pounds in 1840 I calculate is equivalent to 128 k today (Inflation) An incredibly wealthy man indeed which begs the question why is Salford/Eccles such a disgrace today? Various self serving incompetent low grade councils I guess. I had cause to visit the Cornerstone for the first time last year (Diabetes Eye Check) a wonderful unique atmosphere which quite took me aback, such kindness, the staff and visitors made me very welcome, sadly in their 'wisdom' the authority have moved this facility to Timbuctoo to far for me so sadly I sacked it. Typical! I was looking forward to my visit this year. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
Will definitely come to the Cornerstone to have a look, local history is so important for prosperity, pity there isn't more interest shown on here , I worry about the heart and spirit of Salford. I have lived round here for nearly 40 years, before that Lower Broughton, I can see the Cornerstone from my house. I remember it as Langworthy clinic. Langworthy Road was busy back in 1986, good memories, I lived in Harmsworth Street initially, now it has new housing built on the land and I am happy to say they have chosen to give it its former name of Harmsworth Street. Seedley and Langworthy schools all gone now just photographs left to remind us of their existence. I am not negative of the changes I have seen in my area over the time I have lived here just very aware of the changes.
