The Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archives is set in the former Newton Street Police Station, opened in 1879. This guided tour of the Museum will take in the original station charge office and cells – which include original wooden beds and wooden pillows – and also a Victorian Magistrates’ Court, which was rescued from nearby Denton Police Station, restored and installed at the museum. The museum also features galleries of uniform and equipment, crime and criminal investigation and a small collection of police motorcycles. 

There is no charge for this visit. Numbers will be limited, so please register in advance. You can do this at any time before the Congress by emailing tours@ichstm2013.com with your details; or you can sign up in person at the Congress Events Desk. Please arrange your own transport to the Police Museum.
