Photos of Science and Industry Museum

This science and industry museum is located in Castlefield, a Roman castle ruins built 2000 years ago. Although the castle is only left in ruins today, the dilapidated elevated railway, rusted iron bridges and giant warehouses are still preserved. And it was cleverly used to build this museum that integrates the development of modern science and the industrial revolution. The museum exhibits intact steam engines and spinning machines, as well as an old railway station built around 1830, which is quite fascinating. Here one can not only see the old waterwheel used by the paper mill in the 1820s, but also how the beam-type engine works, but also see the improvements made in different eras such as 1864, 1907, 1910, 1929, etc. Types of steam engines and their applications in different fields. Through this kind of traversal along the historical development footprint, visitors can clearly understand how human society has gradually transformed from traditional industries to large machine industries from dependence on animal power, wind power and water power in the development process. The exhibition hall of the "Underground Manchester" theme exhibition is located in the cellar of the original station, showing the development and evolution of the water supply system and public health facilities in Manchester from Roman times to today. One of the Victorian sewers was directly used in the 19th century. Made of bricks from the 1930s. There are also many do-it-yourself projects in the museum, which let people learn more about the industrial process of that era in a vivid way.
