Administrative / biographical background

The Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester, opened in 1969 as the North Western Museum of Science and Industry. The museum quickly outgrew its temporary premises on Grosvenor Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock. Its main funder, Greater Manchester Council, agreed to purchase the 1830 part of Liverpool Road Station from British Rail for the token sum of £1 in 1978. The Museum opened at its new site on 15 September 1983, the 153rd anniversary of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
