A good little experience and knowledgeable information. It could of done with more eye capturing presentation i.e. lights, decorating when entering into the grounds. All though its a nice architectural piece of hustory.
It is easy to combine this with a visit to the Castlefield Viaduct. Here, you can learn about the Romans and the original settlement that evolved into Manchester
If in the area maybe take a five minute walk through, but there are just a few signs and small reproduction area so not worth a special trip.
