Granada Studios
by M.E.R.V
Manchester - home to Granada Studios where you find the set of one of Britain's top soap, Coronation Street. (Oh, I love Corries...) They used to do tours in but I think the studios are now closed to the public. However, we have been offered by the very nice Kate Ford aka Tracy Barlow if we wanted to visit anytime she's filming. Oh such luck!
Power Hall
by sandysmith
One of the coach hall is devoted to steam power - quite steamy and hot in this room too!
This hall had been a freight and engine shed.
Here you can see the largest working collection of steam mill engines in the world plus some huge steam locomotives

Didsbury
by Ben-UK
If you fancy visiting one of Manchester's leafy suburbs for a drink or something to eat then you might like Didsbury -- it's full of cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs and has become extremely popular in recent years -- especially on warm evenings when you can sit outside and watch the world go by.
One bus stop south of Didsbury is Fletcher Moss (see separate tip) -- it's a delightful park with outdoor botanical gardens and lots of nice walks through woods or along the bank of the River Mersey.
Take the 42 bus from Manchester Piccadilly -- it goes right through Didbury village -- about a 25 minute journey.
