"Based on the site of the oldest surviving passenger railway station, the Science and Industry Museum is perfectly placed to tell the story of the discoveries and innovations that began in Manchester and went on to change the world.

"The Imperial War Museum North is another Salford attraction that’s most definitely worth a visit. It’s within walking distance of The Lowry so you could easily combine the two for a day out in Greater Manchester. The focus of the museum is modern conflicts and the building itself was designed to purposefully confuse and unsettle visitors through illogical angles and leaning floors."

"A lavish £12 million has been spent on the redevelopment of the People's History Museum on the Left Bank.

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"

The Albert Dock was completed in 1846 and by the late 19th century, 40 per cent of the world’s trade was passing through. Given the part that it played in the city’s history, it makes sense to start your visit to Liverpool at the world famous Royal Albert Dock."

"One of the undisputed grande dames of Liverpool's cultural landscape, the Bluecoat gallery is housed in the oldest building in the city centre; originally a schoolhouse and dating from the early 18th century, the building enjoys Unesco world heritage and Grade I-listed status. Although boasting a rich history: it hosted the first Post Impressionist exhibition in 1911, including works by Picasso, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Gauguin – it is, nevertheless, an institution facing forwards. Not without initial local controversy, the arts centre underwent significant architectural redevelopment in 2008 and continues to be a staple for those hoping to spot emerging and mid-career artists."

"Another beautiful example of a Grade I listed building in the city, the Bluecoat has 300 years of history and is a central hub of visual art, literature, dance, music, and family entertainment. There is also a relaxing courtyard where you can sit and take advantage of the café, and plenty of independent stores on the grounds, including florists, jewellers, and dress makers. Look out for regular art exhibitions, book fairs and record fairs."
