Built in brick, painted with stone dressing, featured slate roof, and with an H-shaped design – Bluecoat Chambers was built between 1716 and 1717 as a charity school and then later on turned into an art center. It is one of the oldest buildings in central Liverpool and the most well-known in the area too, because of its striking architecture."

"Don’t pass up a visit to the oldest building in the city centre. The Bluecoat is home to a year-round programme of exhibitions, music, dance, literature, live art and heritage events. Once you’ve strolled through the gallery, there’s a lovely garden area for a well-deserved sit down with a coffee and cake – a peaceful oasis in the city centre."

"Built in 1716, Bluecoat Chambers is considered the oldest building in Liverpool. Originally constructed as a charity school, the premises is now home to an arts centre, known as The Bluecoat."

"Royal Exchange Theatre, St Ann’s Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M2 7DH - Visit now. This former trading hall underwent a £32m redevelopment after being severely damaged by the 1996 IRA bomb in Manchester’s city centre – and has been delivering stellar productions from its unusual seven-sided glass and steel theatre-in-the-round (the biggest in the UK), and smaller (but still excellent) studio, ever since. Productions here are renowned – both Vanessa Redgrave and Helen Mirren have graced the Royal Exchange’s stage."

"As far as theatrical experiences go, nothing comes close to the thrill of catching a live show. Be it a drama, a comedy act, a musical, Shakespeare or some combination of them all, Manchester’s thriving arts scene make it one of the best places to take in theatre. The Royal Exchange building and its theatre have survived a lot, having been badly damaged during both World War II and the Manchester bombing in 1996."

"The May Blitz of 1941 saw St Luke’s church forever changed when a bomb landed right on top of it’s roof. Over time, the city has lovingly restored it back to life and it now plays host to everything from weddings, to gigs, to farmers markets and cinema screenings. The church itself and the gardens around it are a total treat for the eye."

"St Luke’s Church, or the Bombed Out Church to the locals, sits proudly at the top of Bold Street and is a great spot for a photograph, especially if you get to head inside. Known as the Bombed Out Church because it no longer has a roof, it makes for an interesting photo for the collection. View this post on Instagram"

"A modest Anglican parish church, originally built in 1832, St. Luke’s was a victim of the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and now stands as a roofless shell, a monument to those who were lost during the war."

"Roscoe Head is the very definition of a hidden gem and the only pub in North West to feature in every edition of the Good Beer Guide, since first published in 1974. Given the attritional rate of pub closures, that’s no mean feat and deserves a visit if you ask us. Every now and then a pub becomes so much more than just four walls to drink beer in and Roscoe Head is one of those fine establishments that have become an institution since opening."
