Must See Sights and Landmarks in Mossley Area

"Standing proud since 1421 when Henry V signed a royal charter granting permission for a collegiate church to be built, the iconic Manchester Cathedral has survived world wars, bombings and the industrial revolution first hand. Admire the beautiful stained glass windows and carved ceilings as you wander around the building and listen to the sound of choristers and jazz that is often playing. If you want to learn more about the building there are guided tours every day at 11 am and 2 pm Monday to Saturday."

"Manchester Cathedral is located on Victoria Street, in between the National Museum of Football and Victoria Station. Although the origins of the cathedral are not clear, the construction is believed to have started around 700 AD. At the time though, it was just a church."

"Sheffield Cathedral is a listed building believed to have originally been constructed in the 12th century. It is built on the site of the Sheffield Cross which dates from the 9th century and is currently housed in the British Museum. The church has been rebuilt many times since its original construction and the current cathedral was finished in 1880."

"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."

"If you are a Manchester United fan, you obviously know exactly what Old Trafford is. For those who don’t know, Old Trafford is the home stadium of one of the two major clubs in Manchester; Manchester United, of course. Football fans will love to visit this lovely stadium whether they love the club or not."

"A post shared by k a t i e (@daydreamkatie) on Aug 6, 2016 at 9:46am PDT. Located on a working farm, this dairy and ice cream parlour may be a little off the beaten track, but it’s a great place to escape to for a quiet day out, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Nestled in the pretty village of Dungworth, just outside of the Peak District, you can visit the farm’s on site ice cream parlour for a tasty cone or scrumptious sundae, or enjoy a wander around the area before picking up a tub from the farm shop to take home with you."

"A dairy farm that started in 1947, it was originally a profitable business that delivered milk to people’s homes. 60 years later, the price of milk plummeted and the business no longer became profitable. They decided to optimise their business model by no longer selling milk, but by producing ice cream."

"Manchester’s other football team is Manchester City, and you can tour their stadium and club and learn all about their history. Tours will take you behind the scenes and you will even get the chance to see areas such as the player’s dressing rooms. Again, this is another one for the football fans out there so if you’re not into football, you’ll probably wanna skip this."

"The home of Manchester City FC was built to house the 2002 Commonwealth Games, but a condition of its building was that it could be converted from an athletics stadium into one suitable for football, and this was carried out shortly after the games…"

"St Marie’s was completed in 1850 and opened on September 11th. During the Second World War a bomb blew out stained glass windows in the Blessed Sacrament chapel. The remaining windows were removed and stored in a shaft at Nunnery Colliery."

"If you’ve been dreaming of New Zealand’s famous café culture but can’t quite manage to jet yourself off to the other side of the world, head over to Tamper instead. Their two locations in Sheffield city centre are both Kiwi-inspired so make for a relaxed meal or coffee. They haven’t forgotten their location in Sheffield however, with industrial-cool interior – think reclaimed wooden benches, hanging plants and exposed brick."

"A photo posted by Brunch and Bananas (@brunchandbananas) on Jan 29, 2017 at 3:43am PST. Bringing the best of Kiwi cafe culture to the Steel City, Tamper Coffee is a bit of a Sheffield institution these days, and now has two locations just 10 minutes apart. Their healthy and modern yet totally tempting brunch menu is great for vegetarians, and even has a few options for vegans."

"Run by a couple of New Zealanders, this café has a couple of iterations but the best one is found in Seller’s Wheel. Bare-brick interior, incredible coffee choices and the best sweet treats you can find. I recommend the eggs benedict with bacon."

"Head to The Midland Hotel to discover Adam Reid at The French, an award-winning upscale restaurant serving modern cuisine by chef Adam Reid. The restaurant uses only seasonal produce, and the menu offers a choice of four, six, or nine courses, all of which showcase classic British food with a contemporary twist. This is where you want to go for a special occasion or a fancy night out, and it's essential to book in advance."

"Adam Reid at The French is one of the city's top fine dining restaurants, boasting an array of awards from 4AA Rosettes to multiple inclusions in The Good Food Guide. The chef, a Manchester native, likes to put a twist on modern British food across a choice of four, six or nine courses."

"Blawd bakery made a name for itself making some of the best cakes and doughnuts in Manchester. Previously working from a basement kitchen in Common, the superstar bakers have expanded with the launch of their first cafe, SiOP SHOP. Owned by Iwan Roberts and Lucy Jackson, the bakery and café on Tib Street is set to launch soon, serving a range of breakfast and lunch dishes alongside their famous bakes."

"Dessert fans visiting Manchester shouldn’t have without trying the best doughnuts in town. Mine was filled with blackcurrant cheesecake (minus the base) and was probably the best £2 I’ve ever spent. Where: SiOP SHOP cafe on Tibb Street and at the Makers Market held in the Northern Quater on the second Sunday of each month."

"Serving up coffee, doughnuts and more, Siop Shop has made the decision to offer a collection of outdoor tables for walk-ins only on a first-come-first-served basis from this week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information on the website here."
