A collection of rare photographs of Salford in the 1960s and 1970s will go on display in a special one-off photography exhibition.

As part of the exhibition at the historic Ordsall Hall a collection of photographs will be shown of the streets and people of Ordsall taken by renowned photographer Laurie Asprey.

The photographs were taken during the late 1960s and early 1970s when the terraced houses were being pulled down as part of the slum clearance project.

Photographer Laurie Asprey grew up in Ordsall. His brother Frank has donated the images to the exhibition.
