In a country that reveres its writers, it is not surprising to learn that a £2.5 million renovation project has been undertaken to convert the home of one of the 19th century’s most important women writers, into a place that travellers can visit. The furniture being a reconstruction of times past implies that guests are more than welcome to sit on the chairs. Visitors are welcome to browse the books in the library that belonged to husband William Gaskell; and walk through the garden admiring the plants that Gaskell loved. The museum-like experience is gives an insight into Manchester’s social, cultural, religious and political history.Elizabeth Gaskell’s House
