Salford Quays (sometimes contracted to The Quays) is an area of Greater Manchester in North West England, near the end of the Manchester Ship Canal. Previously known as Manchester Docks, the area was one of the first and largest urban regeneration projects in the UK, following the decline of the dockyards.
In 2007 it was confirmed that the BBC would be moving several of its departments to a new Media City to be built on Pier 9 of the Quays.
