The novelist Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) lived here with her husband (William Gaskell, minister at Manchester's Cross Street Unitarian Chapel) and children, from 1850 until her sudden death. The house is now a museum expanding on her work and on the Gaskells' lives there as a Victorian middle-class family: https://elizabethgaskellhouse.co.uk/.
