Welcome to 84 Plymouth Grove, Manchester. For over 150 years, this house has been associated its most famous resident: the novelist, Elizabeth Gaskell, who lived here from 1850 to 1865.
We have spectacular period rooms and garden, a tea room, and there is a programme of exhibitions and events planned for everyone to enjoy.
This beautifully restored home re-opened in October 2014.
The house was built in about 1838 on the outer edge of the growing city.
