Pickford's House

Georgian townhouse museum in Derby showing domestic life, costume, and local design

Pickford's House is a Georgian townhouse museum built for architect Joseph Pickford in the late 18th century. Restored rooms, period interiors, toys, costume displays, and domestic objects show how Derby's professional and middle-class households lived.

It is a more intimate museum than Derby's larger civic collections, and that scale is its charm. Visit it with the Cathedral Quarter and Derby Museum and Art Gallery to see the city through houses, streets, and everyday taste rather than only industry.
