Eccles Local Area Guide
Lessons around Eccles use real local roads including Monton Road, Church Street and Half Edge Lane, so by the time you're ready for your test you've already driven the streets you'll use every day after passing. The famous Eccles cake was first sold commercially in the town in 1793 by James Birch, near what is now Church Street, and was later exported as far as the West Indies and America by 1818.
We also plan around school-run traffic near Eccles College and Monton Green Primary School, using quieter spots like Monton Unitarian Church for early manoeuvre practice before stepping up to busier sections of Monton Road.
Test centre: most learners around Eccles test at Salford Driving Test Centre, Lord Byron Square, Salford Quays, Salford, Greater Manchester, M50 2XH; mock tests are planned around the routes examiners actually use from there.
“My instructor knew exactly which junctions near Eccles College get busy at school-run time and planned around them.” – Jade, Eccles
