Gaskell House
84 Plymouth Grove, Ardwick
Neglected for years, the home of Elizabeth Gaskell is now finally undergoing a renovation. The author – one of’s most esteemed novelists and social commentators – lived with her family in this Regency-style villa between 1850 and 1865, hosting visits from Charlotte Bronte, Dickens, Thackeray and John Ruskin. Access may be limited during the renovation period – phone to check before visiting.
