People's History Museum
People's History Museum, History museum in Manchester, United Kingdom
The People's History Museum occupies a former hydraulic pumping station designed by Henry Price at the intersection of Bridge Street and Water Street.
The institution started as the National Museum of Labour History at Limehouse Town Hall in 1975 before moving to Manchester and receiving its current name in 2001.
The museum collection contains 2,000 political posters, 300 political cartoons, 7,000 trade union badges, and over 400 trade union banners representing British workers' movements.
The museum welcomes visitors Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, with a suggested donation of £10 for maintaining the collections and exhibits.
The Labour History Archive within the museum preserves documents from the Chartism period, general elections, and the 1984-1985 miners' strike.
