For many students in Salford, Castle Irwell and 'The Pav' were an "iconic" part of the university experience.
A former horse racing track, in the 1960s Castle Irwell was sold to the University of Salford and Salford council. It was turned into playing fields.
But by the early 1970s, it became a student village - welcoming an estimated 40,000 students over half a century.
