Kersal is a suburb and district of Salford, within the city of Salford, Greater Manchester, England, three miles (4.8 km) north-west of Manchester, historically a part of the Lancashire County. In 1142, Kersal was granted to Priory Lenton, a Cleuniac monastic order, which established an early cell there called St Leonards. On the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540, Henry VIII sold the priory and its land to one Baldwin Willoughby.

Eight years later it was sold to Ralph Kenyon, acting for himself, James Chetham of Crumpsall, and Richard Siddall of Withington. The Kenyons third was sold around the year 1660 to the Byroms of Manchester, whose line ended with Eleanora Athertons death in 1870. All of the land ultimately descended into, or was purchased by, the Clowes family (lords of Broughton manor), who began selling off land for development during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The most notable resident of the Khessal cells was John Birrom (1692-1763). It is said he wrote the hymn “Christians Wake Up” there, but more probably he wrote it in his house at Old Shambles, Manchester, above the present-day Wellington Inn.

In the 17th century, the Kersal Moor Race was the biggest event of the year. These were typically held near Whit Week, with huge crowds turning the borough into one huge fairground over a few days.

The Moor was also used to host naked mens races, which allowed women to learn about form before choosing mates. In fact, during the eighteenth century, Roger Aytoun, known as “Spanking Roger”, who would become the hero of the Siege of Gibraltar, acquired the hough at Moston by marrying into a marriage following such a race.

Kersal Moor was also the site of one of the biggest political events of the 19th century, being the venue of the largest of Chartist assemblies, attended by at least 30,000 in September 1838, and then again in May 1839. It was also the location for one of the earliest golf courses built outside of Scotland. Kersal Links opened in 1818, and was the oldest course between the Thames and Tweed until its closure in 1960.

The race on Kersal Moor began before 1680, and continued, with various breaks, until 1847, when the course was moved across the river to Castle Irwell, where it remained until 1963. In 1961, a members stand was opened at the Castle Irwell Racecourse, which contained the first ever box office. The architect for the racecourse, Ernest Atherden, showed it to directors at Manchester United, who opened their first executive boxes in 1965, thus beginning the modern corporatisation of sports.
