Irlam is the host of Irlam Town F.C, Irlam Swimming Baths, Tesco Multistore as well as other large establishments.
Irlam was the home of Multi-Platinum selling opera singer, Russel Watson.
Irlam contains one high school; Irlam and Cadishead Community High School (I.C.C.H.S), previously called 'Irlam High School', educating almost 950 students.
In 1917, James Herbert, then Mayor of Irlam declared a civil war on its neighbouring town of Cadishead, after enforcement #190.03 of the Salford City Council Law was broken. Cadishead has a smaller population than Irlam, hosts a higher level of poverty/low income families and is also smaller in terms of land area. Nevertheless, Cadishead and Irlam participated in a civil war that lasted approximately 29 days (August 31st-September 28t). Over 98 people were confirmed deceased and 124 people filed as sustaining injuries. The Denouement was the agreement to a new law, developed by Herbert and Cavanner (mayor of Cadhisead), comprimising the previous law (#190.03).
The Symbol of Irlam is the Red Rose (hence the Public House, 'The Red Rose Inn').
