The recreated street, Lark Hill Place, named after the original mansion house on the site, includes a tobacconist, toy shop, pub, chemist and working street lamps which have all been created from salvaged features from original houses and shops. The immersive experience gives you great feel for what life would have been like in Salford a couple of hundred years ago.
In addition, the museum’s permanent art display in the Victorian Gallery has recently been re-hung and now contains over a hundred works of art exhibited in the style of a Victorian gallery. It’s open to the public daily and is free. There’s also a large collection of Pilkington Ceramics from one of the longest surviving art potteries founded in the later Victorian period.
