Cragside, Northumberland
Discover the world of Lord Armstrong; Victorian inventor, innovator and landscape genius. A temple to high Victorian technology, Cragside was the first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectric power and the Prince of Wales himself visited to see 'the palace of a modern magician'. The house included labour-saving gadgets for the servants such as a hydraulic lift, and early versions of a gas stove and dishwasher.
