A market on Shudehill was, and it remains there still, sir,
The Salford old bridge is taken away, and clapt a new one in, sir,
There’s Newton lane I now shall name, has had an alteration,
They’ve knock’d a great part of it down, to make a railway station.
There’s the Bolton railway station in Salford, give attention,
Besides many more too numerous to mention;
Besides a new Police, to put the old ones down stairs, sir,
A mayor and corporation to govern this old town, sir.
There’s the Manchester and Salford old bridge, that long has stood, the weather,
Because it was so very old they drown’d it altogether;
