Working-class and intensely Labour, Manchester's twin city Salford has suffered dramatic urban depopulation in the last 50 years. By 1981, the population had more than halved, and Salford's East and West constituencies were amalgamated into one. That has been pared down further in the latest round of changes. The city's deprived landscape of tower blocks interspersed with classic Victorian terraces (as immortalised by Coronation Street) is prime Labour territory and, although Labour's veteran MP Stan Orme is retiring, whoever succeeds him will have an easy ride.
