Lovingly restored and returned to its former glory, Elizabeth Gaskell's House was, not surprisingly, the home of the famous author of the likes of Cranford, Mary Barton, North and South and many more.
The house was built between 1835 and 1841 but lay in a derelict state for years. Newly opened to the public, the house features stunningly decorated period rooms, delightful gardens and a tearoom. The venue also hosts special events such as readings and exhibitions, and makes a welcome recent addition to Manchester's visitor attractions.
