Tourist attractions in Salford | The List
"A lavish £12 million has been spent on the redevelopment of the People's History Museum on the Left Bank. Hopes are high for a showcase of working-class history where highlights include early political pamphlets, the world's oldest trade union banner, exhibits relating to the Peterloo Massacre and the desk on which Thomas Paine wrote The Rights of Man. The rolling programme of exhibitions starts with Carried Away – a collection of photographs documenting more than 100 years of protest across Britain, from the suffragettes to the miners' strike.Contact: phm.org.uk"
"The People’s History Museum follows the ideas that prompted the fight for democracy in the UK across the ages. It aims to showcase the power of the people as well as encourage the fight for worthy ideas. A great museum for anyone wanting to learn more about the political arena and activism history in the UK."
"As well as the Beatles Story, you’ll also find the Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Tate Liverpool, and the International Slavery Museum. Finally, football fans might want to take a stadium tour of Anfield – the home of Liverpool FC."
"Everybody loves a good museum, and Liverpool’s World Museum is one of the best in the country. This attraction specialises in sciences and human cultures, with a planetarium, aquarium and various space exhibitions on rotation. As an added bonus, it’s completely free."
"Liverpool's World Museum has extensive collections of archaeology, ethnology and the natural and physical sciences. The museum opened in 1851, although was originally known as Derby Museum after the Earl of Derby's natural history collection."
"As well as the Beatles Story, you’ll also find the Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Tate Liverpool, and the International Slavery Museum. Finally, football fans might want to take a stadium tour of Anfield – the home of Liverpool FC."
"The top secret underground bunker on Rumford Street is an absolutely fascinating piece of wartime history and its maze of rooms and WWII artefacts will be open again to visitors, every day from May 17. Bookings are valid for a year and you can either do a self-guided tour or opt for one of the private themed tours which they run. Visit the Western Approaches HQ website here."
"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."
"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."
"This quirky Victorian-themed drinking den is nestled in a basement on Bridge Street, offering a vast range of whisky, gin and cask ales. Reviewers praise the interior and drinks selection, with comments including: “It’s a bit quirky and looks like a renovated underground station”, “an interesting cellar bar to drink in with its Victorian glazed brick walls” and “This bar is a must for tourists and locals alike”. The Gas Lamp, 50a Bridge Street, Manchester"
"Once again, we could have included so many places on the list but these are the ones that sprang to mind, so don't be offended if you're favourite local or hidden gem hasn't been included in our 10 best takeaways in Manchester—in fact, tell us: we wanna go!. Manchester is known as being home to football, music, industry and Corrie, but we also have some of the best food going and, quite frankly, we don't get anywhere near enough credit. So, if you're staying out of the pub this weekend but still fancy a treat, you know where to look."
"A post shared by Etsu Japanese Restaurant (@etsurestaurant) on Mar 5, 2017 at 8:25am PST. Etsu is a nice spot for those nights when you’re digging a nice Japanese dinner. Customers have plenty of different types of sushi to choose from, including Maki, Nigiri and Temaki, and the main menu provides curry, rice bowls, noodles, and even soups and salads for when you’re trying to make sure their meals have the right amount of meat and green in them."
"Beautifully fresh sushi is served up beside hearty fare like katsu curry at this Japanese restaurant in the heart of Liverpool. Begin with miso soup before tucking into platters of sashimi or bowls of noodles."
