Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archives, Police museum in Newton Street, Manchester, England
The Greater Manchester Police Museum occupies a Victorian police station building with original holding cells and a magistrates' court from 1895.
The Newton Street police station opened its doors in 1879 and served the Manchester community until its transformation into a museum of law enforcement.
The collections present artifacts, uniforms, and documents that illustrate the changes in urban policing methods across Greater Manchester since the 1850s.
Visitors can explore the museum every Tuesday between 10:30 AM and 3:00 PM, with group visits available by appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
The museum contains an authentic Victorian charge office where officers processed arrests, along with restored prison cells that maintain their original features.
