Best History Museum in Ashton-on-Ribble

"The Imperial War Museum, the huge silver structure across the water from MediaCityUK, will be back open from May 19. The main exhibition space, along with the Big Picture Show - which projects documentary-style footage and stories onto the walls of the gallery - will both return. The exhibition Aid Workers: Ethics Under Fire is also open, free to visit and extended until September 24."

"As the name suggests, the Imperial War Museum takes visitors on a walk through military history. There is a range of interactive and static exhibits here and the museum sits on The Quays, another iconic area of Manchester. Afterwards, pop over to Elnecot for a tasty bite to eat."

"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."

"You'll find Manchester Jewish Museum in a former Spanish and Portuguese synagogue. The museum tells the stories, history and heritage of Jewish people of the area, via a collection of items. Located in the city centre, Manchester Jewish Museum is a…"

"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."

"as the name would suggest, our last suggestions may not ‘geographically’ qualify as Blackpool…… but its right on the boarder (basically, on Blackpool Airport..and has a Blackpool postcode….. which makes us wonder if they’re just being posh by putting ‘lytham’ in the name lol) and one which a lot of you will pass without knowing on your way into the town. Just off Squires Gate lane is located the Lytham Spitfire Centre. For a fiver (per adult – kids £3 ands under 10’s free!!) you can look around the centre and see some of the spitfire restoration going on plus….."

"Located at Blackpool Airport, and constructed for the RAF at the outbreak of World War II, Hangar 42 was home to various RAF and Polish Squadrons, operating night fighter cover for Preston and Merseyside Docklands. Today, it has been transformed into a visitors centre and retains many of its original features from when it was active. A dedicated team of volunteers portray life in the RAF for both air crew and ground crew during those desperate days of World War Two."

"No Location: Deansgate Dining Style: Fast Food Website: https://www.wrapitup.co.uk/manchester-deansgate/ Google Maps Link: https://goo.gl/maps/XGBQkSUgXEa9GdrcA. Nazma’s Note: Great option for lunchtime, the wraps are pretty filling and if you’d prefer you can have your choice in a box rather than a wrap – I always do this cause I make such a mess eating a wrap!"

"The food at mi casa su casa is fantastic, service is excellent. 05/06/2021: I was visiting blackpool for a couple of days and researched ahead before hand due to having to make reservations ahead of time. Mi casa su casa was rated highly and we love tapas and haven't had it in such a long time we was really looking forward to it."

"The restaurant enjoys a great reputation among locals and keeps drawing return customers. Cuisine served is Mediterranean with an emphasis on Spanish. The menu features a vast array of tapas, including classics like tortilla and patatas bravas."

"The Botanic Road Bar & Eatery has proven very popular with Southport residents. The establishment serves a vast variety of beverages and delicious food - what's not to love?"

"The perfect location for a post-shopping pick-me-up, San Carlo Gran Cafe is located in the Exchange Square Selfridges and serves up a range of light bites, brunches and authentic Italian cakes. The crown jewel here is their homemade tiramisu, which fronts dreamy layers of coffee, sponge and mascarpone cream and pairs perfectly with a strong espresso or a cold glass of fizz. San Carlo's tiramisu is proving that some recipes just don't need updating."
