"Science and Industry Museum, Liverpool Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 4FP - Visit now. The Science and Industry Museum is housed in the buildings of the world’s first inter-city passenger railway; this sprawling, interactive land of scientific exploration is also undergoing a multi million pound restoration project to reveal how ideas change the world. The Science and Industry Museum is now open and welcoming back visitors."

"The museum of Science and Industry is one of the largest museums in Manchester. You can get a glimpse of how technology has changed and shaped the modern world. The museum covers decades of innovation from locomotives, printing presses to the world’s first computer."

"At media city, you will also discover other sites such as the Imperial War Museum – a huge and beautifully designed aluminium clad building; the Lowry Theatre and Shopping Mall and from the Quayside the view of one of the biggest football clubs in the world, Manchester United."

"A visit to the museum will help you explore how modern conflicts have affected the British society at large. The Imperial War Museum North is in Greater Manchester. It sits inside an unmissable aluminium building designed by Daniel Libeskind."

"The northern branch of the Imperial War Museum (obviously), this fascinating spot overlooks the Manchester Ship Canal, an apt spot if ever there was one."

"The People’s History Museum, or the National Museum of Democracy, exhibits the entire spectrum of British social past, its present and future. Visitors can learn about the history of working rights in Britain, women equality, social justice, voting rights and several other elements of the UK’s political and social fabric. The collections at the museum include thousands of trade union banners, badges, political manifestoes and posters."

"Home to a spookily rotating mummy and a T-Rex skeleton, Manchester Museum is the city’s largest institution, containing enough exhibits to keep you entertained for an entire afternoon. A large part of the collection is dedicated to natural history with perfectly preserved plants, animals and insects on display, as well as a vivarium that allows visitors to come face to face with some of the rarest frogs and lizards on the planet. The Ancient Egypt and Archaeology exhibitions also draw in large crowds."

"If you are looking for one place that incorporates the essence of Liverpool then head to Albert Dock!. From museums and shops to restaurants and bars, Albert Dock has it all. The rare urban melange is perhaps just as perfect as its location- the serene water amidst all the buzz is sure to keep you entertained for hours."

"A former newsagent’s and still selling daily papers, it owes its existence to the Sainsbury’s that opened across the road – as it could not compete, it changed business. It is an Aladdin’s cave of wonderful bottled beers, wines, loose-leaf teas and speciality coffees. It also offers two real ales on handpumps, usually from local breweries such as Parker."

"Peaky Blinders is located within the 'Northern Quarter' on Lord Street, in Southport Town Centre. The bar, which is inspired by the television drama of the same name, serves real ales as well as an extensive variety of bottled beers from around the globe, and locally-sourced wines to suit all tastes and pockets. It also caught Southport's attention when it starred on popular TV programme The Hotel Inspector."

"Robinsons Cumbria Way, Double Hop; Timothy Taylor Landlord; two changing beers (sourced regionally; often Martland Mill, Old School, Tatton). Peaky Blinders, named after the popular TV programme, opened in 2015 on the north end of Lord Street in what is now known as the Northern Quarter of Southport. The bar is in an old corner shop just up Seabank Road from the promenade."

Hidden beneath the streets of Liverpool city centre is one of the most important buildings of the Second World War. Known locally as the ‘Fortress’, this little-known, top-secret bunker was the command centre for Navy & Air Force operations in the Atlantic."

"Between 7 February 1941 and 15 August 1945 the secret command centre for the Battle of the Atlantic was in the basement rooms of Derby House. Known as Western Approaches because its main task was to monitor enemy... Top ChoiceMuseum in Liverpool"

"The Ivy has long-reigned as one of the most beautiful restaurants not only in Manchester but across the UK. Offering up three floors in the Manchester venue – each with a completely different experience – the restaurant is unbeatable if you’re after a lively date night, with a fantastic atmosphere flowing from floor to floor. On the ground floor, you’ll find a stunning, floral brasserie, the second – a decadent, oriental-inspired Asian restaurant, and on the rooftop – a bright, summery floral terrace also serving the varied brasserie menu."

"For those who like their brunches with a touch of glamour and a sprinkle of special, Ivy in Spinngingfields should be top of your list. Head to the first floor brasserie which serves British dishes from 11am every weekend, encompassing all the classics, from smoked salmon through to asparagus and hollondaise."

"A Manchester-favourite for special occasions, Australasia – also known as ‘the one you enter via the glass triangle on the street’ – features a clean, minimal interior, that absolutely oozes chic vibes. The menu is just as wonderful, too, with extensive Australasian-inspired options varying from sushi, Robata grilled meats, Asian small plates and more. Cocktail-wise, it’s quite the field day – with endless Asian-inspired flavours to try out during your visit."

"A post shared by Mary G (@mairahgorman) on Jul 5, 2019 at 10:49am PDT. Australasia is a chic modern restaurant that offers guests a fusion of traditional Australian and Asian cuisines. After descending the restaurant’s distinctive glass pyramid, guests are transported into an elegant dining space meant to resemble the beaches of the Pacific Rim."

"Enter through the curious glass pyramid, down a rabbit hole into the subterranean restaurant. The décor here is like the dress code of a flash nightclub: there’s a strict ‘no colours’ policy. White, accented by more white, bare brick and a splash of cream."

"A post shared by The Daily Struggle Blog (@dailystruggleuk) on Sep 8, 2017 at 12:28am PDT. Button Street Smokehouse serves the very best in burger deliciousness – and is a firm favourite of ours. With a small but exquisitely crafted burger menu, the Smokehouse Dirty Burger is definitely one you need to try."

"Pizza Hut is alive and ticking for you to indulge this lockdown. Generously-topped pizza is a good self-care method during normal times. So, you best believe it’ll work better during this period."
