- Clermont-Ferrand, France (originally twinned with County Borough of Salford in 1966)
- Saint-Ouen, France (Worsley Urban District, 1961)
- Narbonne, France (Municipal Borough of Eccles, 1957)
- Lünen, Germany (Municipal Borough of Swinton and Pendlebury, 1966)

Famous quotes containing the words twin and/or towns:
“We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“With a laugh,
An oath of towns that set the wild at naught,
They bring the telephone and telegraph.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
