GREATER
MANCHESTER POLICE MUSEUM
Imagine stepping back in time to a Victorian Manchester, a city of gas lamps and
narrow alleys, of slums and unruly alehouses. Now imagine a busy police station
in the heart of that city from where police officers arrested criminals and
upheld the law. History is brought back to life at the Greater Manchester Police
Museum.
Venture into the original Victorian cells with their wooden pillows and the
Charge office of Newton Street Police Station where time has stood still for
over 120 years.
Marvel at the stained glass
windows and polished wood panels of the Denton Magistrates' Court, built in 1895
and now restored and preserved at Newton Street.
Explore our galleries containing historic police equipment and uniforms from the
region. Uncover the fascinating world of forgery and forensic science.
Our transport gallery contains a variety of vehicles used by the police from the
1950s to the modern day.

may be viewed by prior arrangement. Family, local and police history enquiries
