Tucked away down one of Plymouth’s side streets is this hidden gem. The Merchant’s House has great charm. Its jettied layers of windows proclaim the wealth of its Elizabethan builder. It is now a museum of local history. Here you can get a feeling for what life was like in past Plymouth through a huge variety of everyday items. Experience a Victorian schoolroom, an old-fashioned chemist’s shop and memoirs of the Plymouth Blitz.
