Elizabethan House
The Elizabethan House is a rare surviving example of Plymouth's history. In the late 1500's the city was a prosperous, bustling port, bursting at the seams with ships and crew, foreign privateers, merchants and craftsmen.
An increased need for housing saw the development of New Street - the properties of which were built for the middle merchants and sea-captains whose livelihoods were based around the waterfront. The house was rescued from demolition and opened as a Museum in 1930. Today, visitors can see see how a merchant or sea captain might have lived in the 1600s.
