Elizabeth Gaskell's House

Really interesting ....especially if you're a lover of Gaskell's books. Very friendly and helpful staff/volunteers. Imagine it will get even better as the project ideas come to fruition.

Impressive mini mansion and family home in outskirts of Manchester City with good street parking. Once the home of Elizabeth Gaskell famous for her novels North and South and Cranford, describing the terrible working conditions in Manchester factories. Well worth visiting. Great insight into the life of the middle classes and their network of friends in mid Victorian times. Good cafe in basement.

Beautifully restored house that used to be home to author Elizabeth Gaskell. Cafe and small bookshop. Check opening days/times - well worth a visit.

Lovely little museum with knowledgeable volunteers. My bookworm daughters aged 9 and 11 loved it.
