The Preserved Elgars Birthplace.
This Cottage situated in Crown East Lane Lower Broadheath, has been preserved in Elgars memory.
Elgar’s cottage was originally called “The Firs” later renamed “Rose Cottage”. Although Elgar lived here for less than three years, he told his daughter, shortly before his death, that he wanted the cottage preserved as a memorial. Worcester City Council purchased it in 1935.
Next to the cottage is the visitors centre, accessed near The Plough Inn.
