The Georgian House Museum
The Georgian House was built for John Pinney, a West India
merchant in 1790. Pero his slave also lived here and the interior is displayed
as it might have been in the 18th century and provides a lifelike insight into
life above and below stairs.
Inside there are 11 rooms which are spread over
four floors and include the basement with the kitchen, housekeeper’s room,
pantry and John Pinney’s cold water plunge pool. Visitors can also visit the
formal rooms including John Pinney’s office, two dining rooms, a Library and two
drawing rooms and a small exhibition on the Pinney’s involvement in the sugar
trade and John Pinney’s slave, Pero.
