**Part of the Elizabeth Gaskell Bi-Centenary 2010**

A special exhibition to celebrate the bi-centenary of Elizabeth Gaskell’s birth. This will give an insight into Knutsford as it was during the Victorian period when she lived in the town. It will focus on local shops and businesses as it was then, and how it now is today, presented through images, photographs, early archive material and documents. The town was the inspiration for Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel ‘Cranford’, and Knutsford Heritage Centre will be featuring special guided ‘Cranford Walks’ in the town to celebrate the bi-centenary.
