Visitors to Lichfield can find a covered alley way
in-between the houses and bookshop opposite the majestic, three spired Cathedral.
Walking up the alley, they are led to the right, discovering a secluded courtyard
of ancient houses, surrounding the herb garden of Erasmus Darwin's House. Through
an iron gateway, the visitor then reaches the entrance door to the Doctor's former
home. Indoors, an introductory video gives a short biography and audio-guides take
the visitor back in time as they journey through the rooms. Touch screen
computers, working models, and a silhouette booth are some of the interactives that
compliment the historical artefacts on display.
