Irlam Hypermarket[edit]

What are your opinions on the hypermaket in irlam?

its massive! like man city

I prefrerd the old tesco's better.

i liked the chips and gravy in the old ones cafe

Tesco Extra[edit]

Should references be cited to back up the claim that Tesco is Irlam's popular attraction?

To Be compleatly honest, i live in Irlam and it has NO attractions

the fair comes to town now and again

Youth of today[edit]

"Irlam was once looked on as one of the safer areas of Salford but crime and vandalism have rocketed over the past few years. Some people blame "New Labour" but it is more likely that the general attitude of the youth of today is to blame." - any references to back this up? More of an opinion than fact! --- now removed

you do live in irlam right!? look around you!!!! theres a cctv camera on a large pole at the bottom of fiddlers lanes for a start!

Yes, I do live in Irlam and I see cctv cameras almost everywhere!

in other areas maybe! but irlam had a long history of being crime free virtually!

Early employment[edit]

This section seems muddled. What's it actually supposed to be talking about? The price of houses in Irlam? Is the Tesco's hypermarket a major employer in the area? Hardly seems to encyclopedic. ---- Eric 23:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Tesco are brilliant for the UK economy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.87.6.36 (talk) 15:28, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite[edit]

This article needs a complete rewrite,I believe some of it is directly copied from the salford city council website and I believe the old article was better.Anyone else agree? Aspeas 11:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all of it was copied from the Salford City Council web site. So I've rewritten it, with information from additional sources. I don't know which old article you mean, but I think the current article is a good enough starting point for expansion. The Latham family for instance. What exactly were their contributions to the life of Irlam, and is there any substance to the claim that Thomas Latham played some kind of important role in bringing William of Orange to the throne? ---- Eric 21:55, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Irlam Indians Roller Hockey Club[edit]

This site claims that Irlam Indians "recently retired", so I removed it from the Sports section. If anyone knows different, then please feel free to restore it. --Malleus Fatuarum 22:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

I just expanded what was a rather bleak lead section - it's not perfect but it's a start. I also came across this and this when doing a google search for material. Hope it helps, --Jza84 | Talk 23:26, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I lived in Irlam from 1961 twenty years as a kid and I had a great time and it had a the things a young lad needed the old river as its know by the locals and the old jerry works the co-op soap works and its 2nd world war shelters were great fun. The locks were great to watch as the manchester liners were going through and as for Irlam steel workswe would spent all summer hanging around the train lines and bridges making all kind of swings from any old rope we could find.

Irlam show was always a big event even the high light of the year and Alfred Turner school (now Irlam High) brings back some of the best years maybe not when I was there but looking back its was good days.
