    Comic book heroes and so much more to see

    Sometimes museums can feel a bit like a challenge but not the McManus. When someone steps forward at the door and welcomes you to the museum you know you're on to a good thing. Not sure of the accessibility we had a chat with the front desk and they gave me a handy map of the museum and a quick overview of the accessible facilities. We were off, as it was time to hunt down the childhood memories. After all, I'm of an age where many of my childhood memories are now curiosities in museums!

    The McManus was somewhere I'd read about but not visited. It turned out to be a great find with lots to see, good access, parking and coffee!
