I was born in Manchester.

It has many museums about the History of Manchester.

The Cat & Mouse Act
In 1913 and 1914, women set fire to houses, churches, railway stations and cricket pavilions, broke windows and destroyed mail in a desperate attempt to grant women right to vote in parliamentary elections.

Suffragettes who committed any wrong doing were thrown into prison for a few months. They refused to eat and went on hungerstrikes until they became too ill and were freed to recover. The hunger strikes themselves were now technically legal and couldn't be properly dealt with. The nickname of the act was nicknamed "The Cat and Mouse Act" because of a cat's habit of playing with it's prey (a mouse) before finnishing it of.
