Portland Basin Museum: The Greater Manchester attraction where you can step back in time and visit a realistic 1920s street

A Greater Manchester museum has a realistic 1920s street hidden behind its blue entrance. Portland Basin Museum in Tameside is an exciting family-friendly museum focusing on the area's industrial heritage.

Built in the restored nineteenth-century Ashton Canal Warehouse in Ashton-under-Lyne, the museum houses an entire street where the sights and sounds of 1920s Tameside are brought to life.

Step into the museum and you will be transported back 100 years. Explore what a typical Greater Manchester house would have looked like, sit down for class at school, or take a trip into the site's fish and chip shop and browse the menu.

Portland Basin Museum allows you to immerse yourself in history, so take a peak behind the blue door to get a glimpse of the past.
