It is an umbrella for a number of scholars within the Department of History and Economic History whose work has a distinctively local or regional emphasis. The Centre is strongly rooted in the history of its region, but is also concerned with broader historical questions which explore the significance of regions, regional identity and the relationship between regions and the nation state. It encourages comparative research on local and regional issues and has a particular commitment to community history. The Centre organises events which bring together scholars working in related fields of regional history and encourages collaborative, multi-disciplinary projects with a broad range of institutions, groups and individuals who are interested in innovative research into localities, communities and regions. It is especially keen to encourage activities which bridge the gap between academic history and the wider public outside academic life, particularly through furthering its links with schools, colleges, local history organisations, museums, archives and libraries. The Centre produces The Manchester Region History Review and is also responsible for the MA in the History of the Manchester Region, which has been running successfully for several years. The Centre’s aims are: * To consolidate and expand existing expertise in the history of the Manchester region by promoting historical research on the north west of England * To become a resource base and national centre of excellence for historians working on regions and localities * To encourage multi-disciplinary research and to develop and promote comparative regional history at national and international levels * To encourage research which is popularly accessible * To develop research initiatives which meet the needs of communities in the north west of England Social History Manchester Centre for Regional History Manchester Centre for Regional History Department of History and Economic History Manchester Metropolitan University Room 122 Geoffrey Manton Building Rosamond St West Manchester M15 6LL England General information (Tel) : 0161 833 2220 General information (Fax) : 0161 839 6218 General enquiries : Visitor Centre : Cathedral Archivist : Education Officer : Manchester Cathedral website : Manchester Cathedral now has a stunning Visitor Centre in which we aim to make your visit a really enjoyable experience.

In the heart of the village stands Astley Green Colliery Museum which, but for the foresight of Lancashire County Council and several leading figures within the community, would have suffered the same fate as the other collieries in the area, total demolition. It was the uniqueness of the 3,300 hp twin tandem compound steam winding engine that brought the demolition to a halt. As the result of the intervention, the museum houses Lancashire's only surviving headgear and engine house, both of which now have listed building status. The museum occupies some fifteen acres of the Astley Green Colliery site. To the south lies the Bridgewater Canal and Astley Moss, an important mossland site. The low-lying landscape ensures that the museum's 98ft high lattice steel headgear can be seen for many miles, a fitting memorial to days now past. Apart from the steam winding engine and headgear the museum houses many exhibits, not least of which is the collection of 28 colliery locomotives, the largest collection of its type in the United Kingdom. The colliery began its life in 1908 to exploit coal reserves in the south Lancashire Coalfield. Had it not been for the increasing demand for coal, at that time, the project would not have been viable. The coal seams at Astley Green are very deep and overlain by 100 feet of wet and unstable ground. These factors made the sinking of the shaft a very expensive proposition. The novelty of many of the requirements tested the ingenuity of the engineers during the construction, so much so that a paper, on the sinking of the shaft, was presented to the Institute of Mining Engineers. The colliery had a lifespan of only 62 years, finally closing its gates in 1970. Because of its short and relatively recent history, a considerable number of written and photographic records have survived. This has enabled a detailed study to be made of the construction of the colliery and its subsequent operation. The museum is now run and maintained, on behalf of the community, by the Red Rose Steam Society Limited, a registered charity based in Lancashire.

In addition until 5th May 2006 the Experience is staging its Barnes: Father & Son exhibition highlighting the careers of Fifties hero Ken Barnes and his son Seventies star Peter. Both players won major trophies while with the Club, making them one of the most successful father-son combinations in football history. The Manchester City Experience was recognised for its fantastic contribution to tourism in Manchester with two victories at the Manchester Tourism Awards 2005 and a North-West Regional Award 2006. These successes came in the Small Visitor Attraction of the Year category when the Club’s outstanding museum & tour The Manchester City Experience was recognised for its superb role as a major Manchester attraction. The category recognises the achievements of attractions with visitor numbers of less than 100,000. This is the third major accolade for the museum since its official opening in April 2004. During 2004 the Experience was shortlisted for an Award For Excellence at the Museums & Heritage Awards - the only sporting attraction ever to be shortlisted – and it was Highly Commended at the 2004 Manchester Tourism Awards. Speaking of the success presenter Vernon Kay stated: "The judges described this as an outstanding entry and were impressed with the clear appeal that the attraction has for both football and non-football lovers. They also particularly commended the attraction's commitment to the wider community as well as visitors. Our mystery shoppers thought the tour excellent and were impressed with the staff's friendliness and professionalism in all areas of the attraction." City’s second award came in the Business Tourism Award, when the City Of Manchester Stadium’s facilities for larger groups were highlighted: “Our judges described the City of Manchester Stadium as crackingly good. They loved the bespoke service and willingness to meet individual needs and were really impressed with efforts put into this entry.” The Manchester City Experience (Museum & Stadium Tour) combines the rich sporting history of Manchester City Football Club with a hour long tour of the awe-inspiring City of Manchester Stadium. In 2004 the Experience was also shortlisted for an Award For Excellence at the Museums & Heritage Awards - the only sporting attraction ever to be shortlisted. What they said about the Experience: “The City museum is a fun experience. History and entertainment are sometimes strange bedfellows but museum manager Gary James and his enthusiastic team have managed to mix the two together seamlessly. Best of all, it’s as cheap as chips to sample the vast array of delights on tap in the museum which comes as part of the £8.75 package for the grand tour of the City of Manchester Stadium. Take my word for it… This is the best show in town.” Manchester Evening News. “The museum at the City of Manchester Stadium is a delight… It avoids the dull dreariness of past sporting exhibitions. It also eschews the temptation to be a modern glitzy extension of the club shop. The Manchester City Experience has a charming diffidence. It takes a wry sociological look at what it means to be a supporter of the Blues.” “I was impressed by the scholarship and extensive research that underlies the exhibition. In one league at least Manchester City is ahead of its rivals.” The Museums Journal "From its foundation right through to the present day, the Club has been embraced by Mancunians of all backgrounds, and in the same way, the Club has striven to represent the immense diversity of this great city." Outnorthwest “Life changing experiences do not always follow visits to a tourist attraction, but my look round the Manchester City Experience led to a sudden, poignant decision. At last, I have discovered the place where I want my ashes to be placed after my death.” Stockport Messenger The Manchester City Experience (award winning museum & stadium tour) http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/logos/73b567b18cc0591cae990f6e07b43454.jpg The Manchester City Experience Manchester City Football Club City Of Manchester Stadium Rowsley Street Sportcity Manchester M11 3FF Greater Manchester England Sun & Bank Hols: 11.00-15.00 (first tour 11.00) Mon: 11.00-16.30 (first tour 11.30) Tue-Sat: 09.30-16.30 (first tour 10.00) Matchdays: close 30 mins before kick off (last tour 3 hours before kick off).

After his death, a small group of men bought his 'cabinet', and set up the Manchester Natural History Society in 1821. As its collections grew from around the world, the collections were transferred to their present location in the Owens College in 1868, (now the University of Manchester). The buildings which now house the Egyptology and Ethnographic collections were designed specially by Alfred Waterhouse and opened to the public in 1890.
