What to see

The House
The House, now a Grade II* listed property, was built between 1835-1841 on the outer edge of the growing city. It was built as part of a new suburban development planned by Richard Lane and is a rare example of the elegant Regency-style villas once popular in Manchester.

The Garden
The Gaskells were attracted to the house in Plymouth Grove because it was on the edge of town with a large garden which the whole family could enjoy. There was space to grow flowers and vegetables, and it had the added attraction of a paddock where they could keep a cow, a pig and poultry. Maps and written sources of the time indicate that, when the Gaskells took up residence in 1850, it was a typical villa garden of the period.

Tea Room
The volunteer run Tea Room is situated within the houses light and spacious basement in what was originally Elizabeth Gaskell’s Kitchen. Offering a wide range of hot and cold beverages, along with a selection of delicious cakes and biscuits, all served with traditional vintage china, the Tea Room is the perfect ending to a tour of the house.

School Visits
Through a variety of playful and hands-on activities, we will discover more about Elizabeth Gaskell’s Victorian home. Pupils will compare life in Victorian times to life today through three activities during their visit
