Over two infamous days in 2011 it was a target for rioters.

On a late spring morning blessed by sunshine the sprawling 1972 building, which has had an already dated revamp of white plastic and glass Toblerone-shaped canopy entrances, is ticking over nicely. Most traders will tell you footfall has taken a hit thanks to covid and years of retail decline. But it retains something else - the soul of a city.
Prakash Agranal, 65, has had a bags and suitcases stall for more than four decades. "I have been at Salford Precinct altogether for 44 years - starting on the outside open market. I have been in the inside market in the shopping centre since 2019 and before that I was in the food hall."
He admits business has dipped since the days when he was in the open air, as the ludicrously optimistic "We're All Going On A Summer Holiday" blasts from the stall next door.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticLizzy Carr (Michelle Williams), the central character of Kelly Reichardt’s “Showing Up,” is a sculptor who is finishing up a series of ceramic figures she’ll be presenting in a gallery show. We see her working, throughout the movie, on the small clay statues — all women, each one about a foot tall, some mounted on rods, all with an intentionally rough, patchy surface that may look awkward and unpolished if you’re close up to it, but when you stand back a bit you see the aesthetic elegance of her style.
