Manchester - Imperial War Museum (north) - next to the Ship Canal, across from the Lowry Centre and close to Old Trafford Football Ground.

Unusual building, unusual lay out of exhibits. Frequent audio - photographic display that uses the whole of the large interior to give peoples accounts of their war experiences.

Lowry Centre - Theatre, Art Gallery, Restaurant and Outlet Mall.

Well done, particularly the film account of Lowry's life.

Manchester United FC, Old Trafford. With statue of Sir Matt Busby and memorial to the Busby Babes.

Mega-store on ground floor with free car park across road - on non-match days.

Tour of ground is good.

Manchester Museum of Science and Industry. Large sprawling site containing the first railway station.

Aircraft exhibits in separate building well worth seeing.
