Roscoe House. Liverpool |
|
The former home of one of Liverpool’s greatest sons, Roscoe House bears the name of its eighteenth century former owner, William Roscoe. Responsible for a diverse range of literary works, his most famous is almost certainly The Butterflies Ball. However, he is, perhaps, most widely recognised for his valiant stance against the slave trade. |

A former coaching inn dating back to the early nineteenth century, the Swan & Royal’s most famous former guest is surely Mahatma Ghandi. Visiting in 1933, he used the hotel as a base while visiting a nearby cotton mill (information from which he would later take back to India and use to good effect). |

We are always looking to include more remarkable places to stay on the site. If you are aware of anywhere you feel should be featured on NITP, please let us know. We are especially keen to learn of places associated with great - and not so ‘great’ - figures from the past: literary icons such as William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, monarchs such as Henry VIII and Charles I, and national heroes such as Nelson and Wellington. We are particularly interested to hear of any period accommodation close to Liverpool and Manchester. |
