It is quite difficult to cover all the sights of Manchester in one article. But some of them are definitely worth noting here (those noted by other authors of such an article).
Unitary Church Brookfield Unitarian Church
This is a bright representative of the buildings of the Victorian era. The Gothic Church was erected in 1820-1889. In the northwest you can see the bell tower. Despite the fairly simple interior, the construction was quite expensive. The most important decoration of the cathedral is a 40-meter spire. The church leaves rather mixed impressions - she looks like, of course gloomy. Nearby is the old cemetery, which doubly strengthens this impression. Recently, the church and the cemetery took place repeated raids of vandals, during which some icons and altar decorations were stolen, and the graves were broken.

House number 15 in Furvood Fold (15 Firwood Fold)
This little house in a cute village on the outskirts of Bolton is considered the oldest building in the city. The village is a 20-minute drive from Manchester, so if you are not very lazy, go to Bolton. The house was lost among beautiful cottages that were once in possession of local workers. As for this house, it is argued that it was built in the 16th century, although a couple of centuries later, his appearance changed a little. The walls are made of wild stone (later the brick is slightly corrected), but the window frames are new. But the roof of the tiles remained from those times. This is not a castle and not a temple, but something very cute and special is in this cute house, which is so organically listed on a modern street, illuminated by the lanterns of the Victorian era.

Church of St. George (St George's Church)
The Anglican Church in Negotic Style was built in 1897. In one of the parts of the temple, you can see a square-shaped tower with a 72-meter spire and bell tower with three bells. The church was once also a military structure, so there is a platform in this square tower, which was once used to conduct hostilities. Impressive a massive tree altar in the center of the church. Behind him, you can see three carved panels from Alebaster, which depicts the crucifixions of Christ, Virgin Mary and St. John. Near the altar is 6 niches with saints. It is impossible not to notice the reservoir with columns decorated with pilasters (decorative elements). And the most remarkable part of the interior decoration is three large windows with stained glass windows. The church also houses a memorial in the form of a cross and statute of St. George dedicated to the victims of the First World War. The temple and to this day acting, there are services and rites, organ concerts and choirs.

Church of The Hidden GEM
The luxurious Roman Catholic Church was built in 1794 in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God. By the way, this is the oldest Catholic Church in Manchester. The church of the red brick looks pretty simple, and looks at all like an office in the Victorian style. But stone doors with images of two angels, whose figures are decorated with decorative stones give the greatness of the facilities. Interior decoration impresses the larger walls and furniture items are decorated with Victorian carvings, on a massive altar from marble-lettering of Our Lady and seven saints, and on them the image of Christ. Luxurious stone arches and a number of paintings on the walls of the church are amazed. Very beautiful building that simply can not be missed during your excursion.
Address: Mulberry Street (near Dinsgate Street and relatively close to Manchester Art Gallery)
Church of the Holy Trinity (Holy Trinity Platt Church)
The church in the neojetic style was erected in this place in the mid-19th century. Its main decoration is a sharp spire. Interior decoration, in particular, walls lined with terracotta clay, ancient frescoes and two ancient altars decorated with gold-plated threads are impressive. No less beautiful and stained glass windows on the windows of the cathedral. Next to the church is located a small square with benches, where it is very cool to sit and relax.

Imperial War Museum North (Imperial War Museum North)
Here you will find a greater exposition on the topic of the first and second world wars, and the conflicts of the "cold" war. By the way, the exhibition hall is built in the region that most suffered from German bombing. The expositions of the museum personify the terrible destructive action of wars on history and human life. The museum is quite interesting, with the use of modern technologies. No less impressive building itself. According to the architects, the construction must depict the world, broken war and collected by fragments. The museum consists of three huge parts, each of which resembles the form of the sphere. Three fragments symbolize the airs of hostilities: sushi, air and water. For example, in the "Air" zone is a viewing platform, from where you can enjoy views of Manchester. And part "Water" looks like a ship in the sea - there you will find a restaurant overlooking the shipping channel. The entrance to this museum is free.

MUSEUM OF TRANSPORT
The main goal of the museum is the preservation of rare samples of the auto industry. Exposure in this museum is one of the largest in the country, and its main feature is a non-permanent composition of exhibits. For example, some exhibits in the summer "attend" other museums and events of the country, and then return "home", but they put them on another place. The more interesting! The museum is relatively young, he was opened in 1979, and he immediately became extremely popular. Do not be surprised if during your visit you will see auto mechanics that will repair cars right in the hall. There are at the museum and the hall where old buses are standing, which is about a hundred. And the most ancient exhibits are tiltlabus and tram, which are dated 1901.

Exhibition Complex URBIS (URBIS)
The museum was opened in 2002, in the framework of the project to restore the city after the terrorist attack in 1996. In the museum you can eat permanent and temporary exhibitions, cultural themes of the city life, fashion, art, music, photos and video games. In addition, cultural events are held in the museum building. For two years now, as a museum works as the National Football Museum. No less interesting to the Glass Construction itself.
