MenuSale, Cheshire
Sale is a town in Cheshire, standing on the south bank of the River Mersey. Sale's urbanisation followed the arrival of the Bridgewater Canal in 1765. The arrival of the railway in 1849 lead to an influx of middle class residents. Agriculture gradually declined as service industries boomed. For local government purposes, Sale was the basis of Sale urban district (1894-1935) and the municipal borough of Sale (1935-1974). Sale Town Hall (1915) is in the neoclassical style in red brick. The Waterside Arts Centre houses a plaza, a library, the Robert Bolt Theatre and art galleries. The town is within the council area of Trafford.
