"Leeds' most interesting museum was originally built in 1996 to house armour and weapons from the Tower of London, but subsequently expanded to cover 3000 years of combat and self-defence, becoming home to the national collections. The exhibits are as varied as they are fascinating, covering subjects such as jousting, fencing and Indian elephant armour. To get here, walk east along the river from Centenary Footbridge (approx 10 minutes), or take the free boat from Granary Wharf outside Leeds train station's southern entrance."
"The Peopleās History Museum (also called the National Democracy Museum) charts the history of political and social protest in England. The museum is packed with creatively displayed exhibits accompanied by simple text which our children found easy to read and understand. They didnāt know much about the subject before our visit but were surprisingly engaged the entire time."
"1 km from city center 3 out of 12 places to visit in Manchester. This amazing museum houses the story of Britain's 200 year March to democracy and expresses all the pain and pathos perfectly. It is housed in a refurnished Edwardian Pumping Station."
"A Chapel Allerton favourite thatās just as popular in the day as at night. Great for breakfast, afternoon tea, Sunday roast and have a great childrenās menu. 16-18 Steinbeck Lane, Leeds."
