Geocache Description:

Perfect cache & go.

CAUTION: The area is a highly populated student area.


Salford first fire station!

A square in Salford was renamed in honour of the city's first fire chief. Albion Place, site of Salford's first fire station, was renamed after Albert Bentley, who became head of the local fire brigade in 1898. Salford Mayor Ian Stewart said he "had the vision for the central fire station", which opened in 1903 with five engines and stables for 11 horses. Bentley was very inventive and brought a kind of military discipline to the fire brigade that hadn't existed before. The city built the fire station to his design, along with houses so the firemen were ready to jump out of bed and respond to an emergency, showing the power and respect Bentley achieved. Throughout his live Bentley saved thousand of Salfordian's lives.

The cache is micro sized.
Note: The cache IS NOT inside the walled flower bed. Look behind it instead ;)
Happy caching!
