Must See Sights and Landmarks in Little Hayfield Area

"Manchester Cathedral has undergone extensive restoration works, both in the Victorian era and in recent years, following damage from the 1996 IRA bombing of the city centre. The cathedral has existed in some form on the site since medieval times, and holds artifacts that date back to Manchester’s existence as a Saxon settlement. The main body of this Gothic cathedral was originally constructed in the late 15th century, overseen by church warden James Stanley."

"Manchester Cathedral has been around since 1215, but has gone through multiple refurbishments. It’s not a massive cathedral but is a nice way to spend an hour or so. Entrance is free (although donations are encouraged)."

"Dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, Sheffield Cathedral stands on the site of a parish church founded in 1100. The new church, built in late-Gothic Perpendicular style, replaced it in the mid-15th century (only the choir and the tower remain, and the nave was built in the late 18th century). When Sheffield became the see of a bishop in 1914, plans were afoot to make the present nave the transept of a new and much larger church."

"Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is located on the church street in the city center. It is the parish church of Sheffield and is also known as Sheffield Cathedral. Some stones in this church dates back even to the 13th century."

"Just three miles southwest of Sheffield's city center, Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet is a fascinating 18th-century Victorian village, where visitors can learn about the traditional production of steel scythes. This interesting tourist attraction features warehouses, workers' cottages, water wheels, tilt hammers, a grinding hull, and workshops, as well as the UK's last intact crucible steel furnace. A newer addition is the attraction's Learning Centre, used to host educational programs, and where you'll find a first-rate café."

"Whether you’re a fan of Manchester United or you just want to visit one of the most famous football stadiums in the world, it’s always worth hopping on a tram to visit Old Trafford. Take a tour of the stadium, pop into the gift shop to buy a memento of your visit or simply admire the Theatre of Dreams from the outside."

"For a significant gain (the vista) and little effort, you can enjoy spectacular views from Bamford Edge, making it one of the best walks in the Peak District. It is a popular spot for climbers, walkers and sunset lovers. Walking in the Peak District has never been more accessible with a walk up to Bamford Edge."

"Trafford Town Hall stands in a large site at the junction of Talbot Road and Warwick Road, directly opposite the Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Work on the building, designed by architects Bradshaw Gass & Hope of Bolton, began on 21 August 1931.[84]. The town hall officially came into use as Stretford Town Hall on the granting of Stretford's charter, on 16 September 1933."

"Contact Theatre will be heading out across Manchester this summer for a series of outdoor performances. Contact is an Oxford Road theatre and performing arts venue creating and producing its own shows, as well as hosting tours from the world’s best theatre companies. Contact will be heading out across the city this summer, delivering a series of outdoor performances before its building reopens to the public in September 2021."

"One of the first places to open up in the now uber-trendy Northern Quarter the Frog and Buckets plays host to Manchester's longest-running comedy club. Not only some fantastic homegrown talent, but comedy greats also pass through from all over the world. There are two opportunities every week to enjoy a giggle, their 'Barrel of Laughs' night and also their open mic night 'Beat the Frog'."

"Based in the Northern Quarter, this café serves breakfast and lunch dishes including a large range of hot dishes. One TripAdvisor traveller said: “I usually venture in here for the Full English (and then I'm so stuffed I never need to eat again all day!) or the Indian Panini but I tried one of the specials today and was not left disappointed."
