Manchester & Salford Baths & Laundries Limited:

company plaque on the wall of the Greengate Street Baths, Salford

The company was set up in 1855 and built its first swimming baths at Greengate Street in Salford almost immediately. Part of the building was demolished in the 20th century to make way for Trinity Way, but part remains standing.

A plaque on the wall reads: 

MANCHESTER & SALFORD BATHS  &

LAUNDRIES  COMPANY INCORPORATED

ANNO DOMINI MDCCCLV

It seems reasonably certain that similar plaques were set into walls in all their baths. Those in Stretford Road and London Road (Mayfield) were both built in 1857 and had Turkish baths added in 1860 and 1861 respectively.
