The "Pink House"

Hello! I'm writing from Manchester, England, the home of our lovely authoress, Elizabeth Gaskell. It thought it would be relevant to post some pictures of Mrs. Gaskell's abode, affectionately known around these parts as the "Pink House." (Yes, it is actually pink!). The house, located at 84 Plymouth Grove, has recently been acquired for restoration by the Heritage Trust here in Manchester. It's a two million pound project, with an expected timeline of 10 years. I had a chance to see the inside of the house, and it certainly needs some work! Sorry I won't be there in person to discuss "The Old Nurse's Story," but I will certainly be there, fittingly, in spirit.
Best wishes,
Meagan.
