"Based on the site of the oldest surviving passenger railway station, the Science and Industry Museum is perfectly placed to tell the story of the discoveries and innovations that began in Manchester and went on to change the world. Its collection includes the models used by John Dalton to demonstrate his atomic theory, laying the foundations of modern chemistry, and parts from the world’s first commercially available computer. The Air and Space Hall is one of its most popular attractions, housing historic aircraft, cars and other vehicles, as well as a flight simulator."

"Since Manchester stood at the forefront of the society-shifting industrial revolution, it is of no surprise that the area has continued to forge new and exciting pathways forward in the fields of science and industry. This makes the existence of the Museum of Science & Industry a necessary and exciting inclusion within Manchester’s cultural landscape. Visit this truly stunning museum in order to learn more about the ideas that have changed, and continue to change, the world around us."

"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. "

"Opposite the Lowry on the south side of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park is one of five branches for the Imperial War Museum, opened in 2002. This remarkable building, with three interlocking metallic shards (invoking air, earth and water), was designed by Daniel Libeskind and intended to induce a feeling of disorientation apt for war. The entrance is in the 55-metre-high “air shard”, while the permanent exhibition is on the first floor in the “earth shard”."

"The Northern arm of the Imperial War Museum does not disappoint and is a fantastic day out, showing how war affects people’s lives and is great for children to learn lots about the history of the UK during the times of war. At the moment there us a special Horrible Histories exhibition about the Blitz and we had a really lovely day when we visited last year. The exhibition finishes on 10th April and is well worth the visit."

"For individuals who love the Ancient Egypt, the University of Manchester has a collection for you. In addition to mummies, the museum has three galleries purposely devoted to Egyptology. The museum opened its doors in earlier 1880s and their collection focuses on anthropology and archaeology."

"Situated on Oxford Road, the Manchester Museum is home to three floors of displays and exhibitions, featuring objects from around the world. Wild Chorus is a new soundscape exhibition, created by sound artist Harry Ovington in the first lockdown and acting as a time capsule."

"The John Rylands Library in the University of Manchester is a very important place to visit in the city. The library is perhaps one of the most amazingly diligently maintained and prestigious ones which makes it a treat for students and scholars but this is not the only reason either. There are a few more."

"John Ryland’s Library is my personal favourite photo location in Manchester. It’s a working library of the University of Manchester, so make sure to keep quiet and not disturb students that are preparing for their assignments."

"A short stroll from Preston city centre, St Walburge's Church is a must visit for fans of history, heritage, and architecture. The church opened in 1854 and boasts the tallest spire of any parish church in England. The Roman Catholic Church is a sight to behold from both the outside and the inside."

"But this gurudwara is both a spiritual place and a learning center for Sikhs and their children. The gurudwara offers religious programs every day. In addition to this, they also conduct some educational programs for the young and the old."

"Boggart Hole Clough is an old park with several wooded ravines, valleys, and gullies. The name is said to have come from local superstitions that the area was haunted by a Boggart. There’s an ongoing debate about whether this is a real folk tale, or just a fabrication."

"Sale is another suburb of Manchester that’s well worth exploring, and Grapefruit Coffee is the ideal place to start. The dinky café is conveniently placed next to the tram stop (which also conveniently looks on to the canal). Pick up a Hasbeen coffee and a slice of triple chocolate loaf to go and meander along the lush Bridgewater Canal path."
