FIND OUT MOREThe People's History Museum in Spinningfields has just reopened its doors after a £12.5 million redevelopment project.
Housed in Manchester's only surviving Edwardian water pump house since 1994, the museum closed for redevelopment in 2007. The historic building has now been restored and an eye-catching new extension added to it.
The revamped attraction is Manchester's only national museum. It explores Britain's struggle for democracy over two centuries and offers visitors the opportunity to meet the revolutionaries, reformers, workers, voters and citizens who fought our battle for the ballot. It displays almost 1,500 historic objects, including the largest number of trade union and other banners in the world.
Construction work is currently underway to refurbish the main building of Manchester's iconic MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry).
The nine-month project will cost an estimated £7 million and will transform the 130-year-old building to make better use of the available space and offer improved orientation for visitors.
As part of the redevelopment, a new Revolution Manchester gallery will be created on the ground floor, displaying iconic objects relating to the city's industrial and technological achievements.
Located on the site of the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station, MOSI currently attracts more than 700,000 visitors every year. The refurbishment is hoped to help the museum increase this number to a whopping one million.
Residents and businesses in Manchester's Oxford Road area will soon be able to access super-fast broadband, as part of a wider, £2.5 billion regeneration programme.
Technology company Geo has been appointed to lay down new fibre optic cables that it claims will revolutionise digital communication. The project aims to turn Oxford Road into an information superhighway, offering people the chance to access broadband at a minimum speed of 100 megabits per second and creating a true open access network that will foster innovation.
Geo is working for the Manchester Digital Development Agency and Corridor Manchester - a partnership of key stakeholders tasked with driving forward economic growth and investment in the Oxford Road area of the city, also known as the Corridor. This is an area of 240 hectares stretching from St Peter's Square to Whitworth Park and boasting the most significant concentration of knowledge-based assets in the UK today.
Once the first phase of installation is completed, the plan is to expand the fibre optic network to east Manchester and elsewhere in the city by using both the existing and planned Metrolink lines.

The award-winning Bury Market is one of the UK's best bazaars, according to the Guardian.
The market has recently been included in one of the newspaper's 'top ten' lists, ranking third after St Nicholas Market in Bristol and Catterick Market in North Yorkshire. It was praised for dominating local shopping for five centuries and for offering a huge range of products in its 370 stalls.
This is not the first time Bury Market has been singled out for praise. It won the BBC Food Market of the Year 2008 and NABMA Market of the Year in 2006 and 2009.
