Best History Museum in Altrincham

"Walk through a timeline of history from the First World War to the present day. Again, although tickets are free, they must be booked in advance. Find out more and book here."

"The People's History Museum is the national center for the collection, conservation, interpretation, and study of material relating to the history of working people in Britain. Located in a former pumping station, the museum showcases the history of British democracy and its impact on the population, as well as extensive collections of artifacts relating to trade unions and women's suffrage. Two other museums close by are the Manchester Jewish Museum, with its collection dealing with the city's Jewish community, and the Museum of Transport, with its many old buses and other vehicles belonging to the city transport services."

"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."

"This is another opening that will be the talk of the town when it reopens, as the Manchester Jewish Museum unveils its £6m transformation to the public for the first time. You'll have to be patient though - the Chetham Hill venue won't open until July 2, when it kicks things off with a MIF co-commissioned installation. General admission tickets will be available soon at manchesterjewishmuseum.com."

"Reopening from 2 July, daily, 10.00–16.00 (until 22.00 on Thursdays). Manchester Jewish Museum is thrilled to be reopening its doors following a major capital development redesign and extension. Two years in the making, the brand new museum now features a gallery, café, shop and learning studio and kitchen, as well as the stunning restoration of its 1874 Spanish and Portuguese synagogue."

"The Manchester Jewish Museum is the only Jewish museum you will find out of London. The Victorian building is Grade II listed and was built in 1874. It is, therefore, the oldest synagogue in Manchester."

"The Clayton Hall Living History Museum dates back to the 15th century and you will therefore not see the global moated medieval buildings. The Museum is in the Grade II category. Volunteers have restored it back to its original look and it is now open to the public twice a month."

"Dress up as a Victorian, visit several rooms, have lunch in the café, or take part in a guided tour. A really fun way to learn about Victorian and Mancunian history. Highly recommended for children, book, music and history lovers."

"Wolf at the Door is probably one of the most experimental restaurants in the city, regularly cooking up new, interesting combos in their kitchen. We’re talking the likes of their chippy tea bao (which is smothered in proper chippy curry sauce!), jerk chicken tacos, pizza-topped fries, and even a cauliflower shawarma bao – with a regularly updated menu available to try. Wolf at the Door, 30-32 Thomas St, M4 1ER."

"Another seriously pocket-friendly spot in the city, Wolf at the Door serves up tacos from just £1, with Bao Buns starting at just £2. There’s no catch either, just turn up any day of the week and tuck in. Pair it with one of their natural wines, and you’re onto a winner."

"Wolf At The Door may tout an award-winning drinks list and mouthwatering food offering, but this chilled back spot is a welcome retreat from the stuffier picks in the city. Think small plates, classic desserts and intriguing wines to wash it all down."

"Set across four floors inside an old auction house on Charles Street, YES houses a basement club, gig venue, roof terrace and a street food kitchen all under one roof. The food offering includes Neapolitan style pizza slices from Pepperoni Playboy, with toppings ranging from the classic mozzarella, tomato and basil (£2.60), through to spiced lamb shawarma, (£3.40). All pizza slices are half price every day from 12pm to 7pm."

"YES sprawls over several floors, from a ground-floor bar to an entirely pink club room. They've added a beer garden at ground level now too but the roof terrace - dotted with hanging plants - is our favourite. They've got house cocktails on tap in the neighbouring attic bar too."

"YES Manchester has made the decision to hold all tables back and reopen for walk-ins only from this week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information via the website here."

"Where: Liverpool Street, on an unlikely crossroads in Salford. Best Dish: Pig’s trotters with chilli, onion, spring onion and sesame. This restaurant of many names (Mr Fresh? Peking Duck?) offers a no holds barred Chinese menu with a Beijing accent, filled with gizzards, feet, tongue, lungs, kidneys, trotters and stewed chicken with mushrooms."

"Chinese is one of those foods that you never stop craving – so it’s pretty handy for us Salford students that the Peking Duck is only a 5 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) from the main campus. With unbeatable prices, the Peking Duck will satisfy for sure. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!"
