Best History Museum in Whitworth

"In Trafford, you will find a striking building that is specifically designed to leave all visitors slightly uneasy and assist them to process all the feelings that conflicts and war can evoke – the building lies on a former bomb site. The main exhibitions chart all the wars that have affected Britain since the First World War. Taxis in Manchester are here to help you avoid missing out the Big Picture Show – a blend of film and photographs."

"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, or the National Museum of Democracy, exhibits the entire spectrum of British social past, its present and future. Visitors can learn about the history of working rights in Britain, women equality, social justice, voting rights and several other elements of the UK’s political and social fabric. The collections at the museum include thousands of trade union banners, badges, political manifestoes and posters."

"Daily tours guide you through the lives of Jewish Mancunians in 1912. Guest exhibitions focus not only on the Jewish community but also the wealth of ethnic diversity in industrial Manchester. The only Jewish Museum outside of London, it allows you to explore the life, culture and contributions of the Jewish community to the city."

"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 best of Haworth's Brontë sights is this somber Georgian (1778) house where the sisters grew up. It displays original furniture (some…"

"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."

"Stood high on Castle Hill dominating Clitheroe’s skyline for over 800 years, Clitheroe Castle Museum is now open after a complete makeover and offers a day of exploration for all the family. Explore the hands-on galleries, collections and displays which reveal amazing stories and take you on a journey through 350 million years of history."

"Best Dish: Steamed beef tripe honeycomb in black pepper sauce. Ask for the Cantonese dim sum menu, as that’s where you’ll find the most interesting dishes such as smoky pork cheung fun, mixed meat croquette, sticky rice with smoked diced meats, whelks in an mysterious glutinous sauce, deep fried cuttlefish and yam cakes with smoked meat (read our review here).

"The Marble Brewery is an institution in Manchester, and The Marble Arch is their original pub that delivers it all. With a bar as long as you'd like delivering fresh craft beer, it's the perfect place to grab a pint in the city. Expect cosy vibes in the winter and beer garden feels come summertime."

"It’s one of Manchester’s most beautiful pubs with its unique tiling, sloping floors and cosy atmosphere. But if you find the Victorian décor a bit overpowering for a warm day it also has an enclosed yard out the back with tables and chairs."

"Hazy IPAs practically rain from the rafters at The Marble Arch, by far one of the best places for craft beer in Manchester. They serve up guest beers on top of their own craft beers. But, locals love the place for the relaxing atmosphere."

"Once known as Eat New York in the Northern Quarter, Triple Bagels opened up in Prestwich just a matter of months ago – bringing salt beef, burgers and bagels to North Manchester. The American-inspired menu is the perfect lunch option, with Deliveroo available for those nearby. Triple Bagels, 24 Bury New Rd, Prestwich, M25 0LD."

"Serving up cuisine from world-famous chef Marco Pierre White, Marco's Media City offers authentic New York Italian cuisine in a charming setting. Floor-to-ceiling windows stretch across the bright, buzzy dining room, making for spectacular panoramic…"

"Having one of these giant OTT, oozy, piled-high monster burgers is something you should do in your lifetime even if it induces a heart attack. Almost Famous is in retro American diner style with. sweets inside the tables and fun wall art…."
