Rolls-Royce RB211-22B jet engine on transport stand in glass window of MOSI Power Hall, Liverpool Road, Castlefield, Manchester

---

In 1978 Greater Manchester Council purchased the earliest part of the former Liverpool Road Railway Station, which has closed in 1975, from British Rail. The Council paid a nominal sum of £1 for the site. The Manchester Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) located to the site in 1983. The Power Hall, running along Liverpool Road from Lower Byrom Street, was originally a warehouse built in 1855 for the London and North Western Railway Company. It is a Grade 2 Listed Building, exhibiting different sources of power: water, steam, gas, electricity and jet engines. Rolls-Royce has donated an RB211-22B jet engine (with transport stand), made in 1973. This is seen here through a window on Liverpool Road.
