Salford Test for Paternity
Being at the frontline of DNA testing services DNA Bioscience provide paternity and other DNA relationship testing to the residents of Salford and the surrounding area. As we have dealt with a number of customers from Salford we wanted to also take the opportunity of providing information about this city.
Salford's early history was marked by the granting of a charter
by Ranulf, Earl of Chester, about 1230 A.D. The parchment, which
made Salford a free borough, was written just 15 years after the
Magna Carta.
In the days of Edward the Confessor, Manchester
formed part of the Royal Manor of Salford, which was also called
Salfordshire.
During Tudor times its most famous family was the Radclyffs
of Ordsall Hall, who featured briefly in the Civil War. Legend
has it that Guy Fawkes was a friend of the family and the
Gunpowder Plot hatched during a visit here.
Originally, a village on the banks of the Irwell, Salford
grew through industrialisation. Cloth and silk were made here,
as well as the processes of dyeing, fulling and bleaching. It
eventually grew to be one of the greatest cotton towns, although
the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 and the
construction of Salford Docks also brought employment for almost
a century.
Salford became one of the first county boroughs in the
country, but City status was not conferred until 1926.
