Petition Action

Move Stephenson's Rocket to Manchester Science Museum.

Petition Details

Stephenson's Rocket was built in Newcastle but won the Rainhill trials in 1829. It deserves to permanently live in the Manchester Museum becuase it was built for Manchester. We petition Parliament to help get the Rocket moved.

Additional Information

Stephenson's Rocket was displayed in the Manchester Science Museum recently and my dad and I enjoyed seeing it and think it should be home!
