"The Mother Church of Chester Bishopric and a Church of England Minister, the Chester Cathedral was built in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Christ.

"Chester Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral built on Anglo-Saxon foundations dating back to the year 907.

"Speke Hall is a beautiful National Trust property on the banks of the river Mersey, complete with its own garden and estate. The timber-framed Tudor façade hides a fully restored Victorian Arts and Crafts interior. The Home Farm restaurant on site serves freshly cooked local produce, and there’s a second hand bookshop on site if you want something to read while you relax in the grounds."

"On the edge of an industrial estate and just minutes away from the Liverpool Airport, the half-timbered black and white Speke Hall is a piece of history tucked in among modern-day Liverpool."

Hidden beneath the streets of Liverpool city centre is one of the most important buildings of the Second World War.

"You may recognise The Salford Lads’ Club from the famous cover of The Smiths’ hugely popular 1986 album The Queen is Dead, with a bouffant-haired Morrissey and co stood outside its doors. Now you’re in Manchester, you’d be silly not to venture out to this same spot for a Smiths selfie with your fellow travellers. A popular venue for Manc-music fans; head inside to learn more about the band and to buy exclusive merchandise."

"Located in Salford (Greater Manchester), Salford Lads Club became famous in 1986 when it was featured on the cover of the Smith’s album The Queen is Dead. Manchester is known for its music scene. It boasted some of the most famous rock bands in England and the Smiths are one of them!"
