Greater Manchester Police Museum
Annoyingly I didn’t give myself enough time for this museum – its a little gem. It has a great balance of contemporary pieces, old display cabinets, original rooms, novelty and the unexpected. Highlights were the modern police vans and motorbikes that already look iconic and then the surprise of more – through the courtyard into the old booking room, cells and courthouse. Run by ex-police officers with plenty of stories. Next visit I’ll give myself more time to take in all the information and films, I’m sure I missed some good stuff. Open one day a week – its one to plan for.
