An unremarkable looking McDonald's restaurant in Manchester has the honour of being the first of its kind in Britain.
McDonald's is one of the most popular high street restaurants. With over 1,270 restaurants dotted around the UK, there are 28 branches in Manchester alone.
The fast food giant's began life in the US in 1940, when brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald opened the first restaurant in California. It took a mere 34-years before it came to these shores with the first UK McDonald's opening in Woolwich, London, in 1974.
