Bramall Hall is a stunning example of a black and white timber framed building, standing in it’s own parkland. There are regular special events that allow visitors the chance to experience life as a Tudor. A comprehensive education service at the site enhances classroom work on the Tudors. Bramall Hall was saved in 1925 from being split up and sold, by John H. Davies, who bought the whole estate for £15,000. John Davies was at that time one of the wealthiest men in Manchester, President of Manchester United and largely responsible for Old Trafford Football ground.

Bramall Hall is owned and managed by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council.

The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester was established in 1969 as the Manchester Museum of Science and Technology. It moved to its present site in Castlefield in 1983. Housed in the buildings of the former Liverpool Road Station, the world's oldest passenger railway station, and an adjacent Victorian market hall, the Museum currently comprises 15 themed galleries. The galleries include the Power Hall, the Air and Space Hall, the Xperiment hands-on science centre and Underground Manchester, with its walk-through reconstruction of a Victorian sewer. The Textiles Gallery features historic textile machines, textile artworks and a range of other textile-related material. The Collections Centre provides access to the Museum's reserve object collections, archive collections and reference library. Classroom-based sessions for schools take place in the Learning Centre, which also provides worksheets for gallery-based learning. Public programmes aimed at families and informal learners include demonstrations of textile machinery and steam engines, science shows, lectures and costumed interpretation.

Imperial War Museum North

'When I began to work on Imperial War Museum North, I was deeply challenged by creating a place in which the story of significance, sacrifice, tragedy and destiny of conflict come alive'. Daniel Libeskind, Architect

Imperial War Museum North's awarding-winning building is a symbol of our world torn apart from the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal. The visually stunning building starts the discussion on how war shapes lives.

The Museum is about people and their stories, whether far from home in a battle zone or growing up in the midst of war. How lives have been and still are shaped by war and conflict.

The Manchester is my Planet campaign has been running since last August, asking people to pledge to reduce their CO 2 emissions by 20% before 2010. So far, over 13,000 people from Greater Manchester have pledged! We want more people to pledge, and to help those who want to fight climate change – and make a positive difference to their region – do so! We only need to make simple, but effective, changes to reduce our CO 2 emissions, and reduce the amount of energy we use.

There is loads going on in Greater Manchester – green projects are running all over the region looking to do their part. These include the use of wind turbines, photovoltaic cells and other renewable and sustainable resources, all helping to tackle climate change. This is an exciting time for Manchester is my Planet, and the people of Greater Manchester – we want to bring people together to make ours the greenest city region!
