Merchant's House MuseumAn attraction for anyone interested in social history, the Merchant's House Museum in Plymouth is a Jacobean town house situated just behind the Barbican. The four-storey building was constructed in 1608 for William Parker, then Lord Mayor of Plymouth. The Merchant's House Museum will take you back in time to the construction of the Great Western Railway and Brunel's railway bridge. Displays include the history of Plymouth, its tale of hardship during the Blitz and the subsequent rebuilding of Plymouth's devastated remains. You can also visit the Rich Man's Room, a Victorian classroom, the Tailor Room or learn more about pharmaceutical history and herbal remedies.Location Address: 33, St. Andrew Street Postcode: PL86DZ [Street Map] Town/City: Plymouth County: Devon Phone: 1752 304774 Admission Adults: £1.30 Children: £0.80 |
