"Manchester's Science and Industry Museum is all about how ideas can change the world, focusing on inventions and innovation from the Industrial Revolution until today.

It's a great pick for those who love history, as well as families with kids and is free for all."

"Manchester's rich industrial legacy is explored in this excellent museum set within the enormous grounds of the old Liverpool St station, the oldest rail terminus in the world. The large collection of steam engines, locomotives and original factory machinery tell the story of the city from the sewers up, while a host of new technology looks to the future. "
