Sale is famed for being the birth place of George Saul Mottershead, the founder of Chester Zoo and the final resting place James Prescott Joule, the famous physicist.
Sale's build environment is varied, with a mixture of modern and old buildings. Some terraces, semi-detached houses, and villas, survive from the Victorian period, although many of the larger houses have been converted into flats.
Many semi-detached houses survive from the 1930s, when there was a need for new housing in the town as a result of a growing population and an increasingly wealthy middle class. Interspersed with these older structures are newer housing developments, such as the estates built in Ashton upon Mersey and the east of Sale during the 1970s.
The Square Shopping Centre is located in the heart of Sale and is home to more than 50 stores, including a mix of major UK and independent retailers. There is also varied selection of cafés, bars and restaurants which will appeal all tastes.
Sale has a wealth of culture with the Waterside Arts Centre, a library, the Robert Bolt Theatre, the Lauriston Gallery, and the Corridor Gallery. You will regularly find concerts, exhibitions and other community events.
There are numerous parks and leisure centre facilities in Sale. The Metrolink system connects Sale with other locations in Greater Manchester. Trams depart the town's three stations at least every 12 minutes between 07:00am and 22:30pm every day.
