The Exhibition of Scientific Industry, Manchester, 1874. 'The Exhibition of Scientific Industry, which was lately opened by the Earl of Derby, consisting of an instructive collection of models and specimens of various manufactures, is contained in a range of timber sheds, erected for this occasion, in Peel Park, Salford. We give an Illustration of the outward aspect of this temporary structure. Most of our readers are probably aware that the borough of Salford is situated, with relation to the city of Manchester, precisely in the same way as Southwark to London, being on the opposite side of the river Irwell, while several bridges connect the streets of these towns with each other. Salford extends higher up the river, to the suburb of Pendleton, where its stream is less defiled by the refuse of a factory town; and the banks of the Irwell at Peel Park are not unpleasant. A large house near the entrance in Peel Park has been occupied, during the last twenty-three years, by the Salford Museum and Free Library, maintained by the municipal corporation of this borough. It is resorted to, on the average, by 1600 persons daily. Manchester also possesses a free library and three or four public parks'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
