The Crescent, Salford
History
The Crescent Pub, Salford, is one of the most Historic Pubs of Salford. A Grade II Listed Building built in the 1860's where Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels once drank and discussed revolution and the theory of Communism. The German-born philosopher and communist thinker, Engels, ran a mill in the town for his father in the second half of the 19th century while researching his classic work, The Condition of the Working Class in England. At that time the Pub was appropriately known as The Red Dragon.Location
The pub stands on The Crescent, a busy dual carriageway on the A6 corridor close to Salford University and less than1 mile from Manchester City Centre, and is in easy access for both Salford Central and Salford Crescent train stations, whilst also sited along a major bus route to the City.
