Over

Korte feiten: Het museum is gevestigd in het voormalige Liverpool Road station, het oudste nog bestaande passagiersspoorwegstation ter wereld. De Spaceship galerij laat bezoekers door een model van de Apollo 11 command module kruipen en de krappe omstandigheden voelen die astronauten doorstonden.

Hoogtepunten: Het museum bevat de originele gevel van het Liverpool Road station precies zoals deze eruitzag op de openingsdag in 1830, compleet met de oorspronkelijke loketramen. Sta op het perron waar vroege passagiers aan boord gingen van treinen getrokken door de Planet locomotief, de eerste commercieel succesvolle stoommachine ter wereld.

Insidertips

  • Skip the main entrance queue on busy days by entering through the火车站 side entrance on Lower Byrom Street.
  • The 1830s Station tour happens at set times and is easy to miss, check the daily board near the welcome desk for exact slots.
  • Wear comfortable shoes, the site stretches across 7 acres and the floors are original stone.
  • The Textiles Gallery is often empty and lets you watch working 19th century cotton spinning machines up close.
