History in the making at the Ordsall Chord

摘要

On 15 September 1830, Manchester's Liverpool Road station was opened to the public. Acting as the terminus for the world's first inter-city passenger railway, running between Liverpool and Manchester, it cemented Manchester's status as one of the North's most important industrial hubs. Although the station closed to passenger traffic in 1844, heritage trains have been running into and out of Liverpool Road, which is now Grade Ⅰ-listed and part of the city's Museum of Science and Industry, for more than 180 years.
