TLD34 · United Kingdom
Eccles, a market town in the City of Salford in Greater Manchester, is the birthplace of the Eccles cake and grew around its 13th-century Parish Church of St Mary. The Manchester Ship Canal borders the town to the south, and the centre has a walkable concentration of cafés, restaurants, and historic churches. The town expanded significantly after the Liverpool and Manchester Railway arrived, and evidence of prehistoric settlement has been found locally.
