People’s History Museum is housed in a former hydraulic pump house which opened in 1909. Designated by Historic England as Grade II listed, it was designed by Manchester’s first City Architect, Henry Price, and comprises a brick and terracotta Engine Hall featuring vast arched windows, a vaulted glass roof, colourful Pilkington Tiles and intricate metalwork.
