- Originally shaped by its success during the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, Manchester’s strong, pioneering character endures today – only now its achievements also include shaking up the music scene, nurturing artistic creativity and hosting international sporting events.
- A trip to Media City on Salford Quays is always a great day out, especially when the sun is shining as the waterfront is quite beautiful. This is the part of the city that has seen ITV and BBC move much of their operations to and it isn’t uncommon to see celebrities milling about. There are of course all manner of bars and restaurants for you to enjoy in the area and there is also the Imperial War Museum too, which acts as a beautiful backdrop to one of Manchester’s coolest new areas.
