"A lavish £12 million has been spent on the redevelopment of the People's History Museum on the Left Bank. Hopes are high for a showcase of working-class history where highlights include early political pamphlets, the world's oldest trade union banner, exhibits relating to the Peterloo Massacre and the desk on which Thomas Paine wrote The Rights of Man. The rolling programme of exhibitions starts with Carried Away – a collection of photographs documenting more than 100 years of protest across Britain, from the suffragettes to the miners' strike.Contact: phm.org.uk"

It is home to the ruins of a grand Tudor mansion (where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned for 14 years), a working farm, and 1940s cottages, which recreate life on the eve of the Sheffield Blitz."

"It’s easy to make vegan Indian food, but it’s difficult to make great vegan Indian food. That’s what separates Ajanta’s Vegetarian from other Indian restaurants in the area: delicious, homecooked, and authentic Punjabi cuisine that’s been passed down from generation to generation. And for the quality of the food on offer, Ajanta’s is unbelievable value."

The park as we know it today was opened in 1903 when, what was known as Seedley Park, and the grounds of Buile Hill house were joined together by the closure of the ‘dog entry’ path which had separated them."
