Welcome to Clifton Junction

Clifton Junction is a small area located in the Greater Manchester region of England. It is situated between the towns of Swinton and Pendlebury, and is known for its industrial heritage. The area was once home to a number of factories and mills, which played a key role in the development of the region's textile industry. Today, many of these buildings have been repurposed or demolished, but the area still retains a strong sense of its industrial past.

One of the most notable landmarks in Clifton Junction is the Clifton Viaduct, which spans the River Irwell. The viaduct was built in the mid-19th century to carry the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Railway across the river, and is now a Grade II listed structure. The viaduct is an impressive sight, with its 12 arches and red brick construction, and is a popular spot for photographers and walkers.

Despite its industrial history, Clifton Junction is also home to a number of green spaces and parks. The Clifton Country Park is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, with its woodland walks, fishing lake, and picnic areas. The park is also home to a number of wildlife species, including kingfishers, herons, and otters. Overall, Clifton Junction is a fascinating area with a rich history and plenty of attractions for visitors to explore.
