Step Inside History: The Smallest House in Great Britain Guide
Prepare to be amazed by the Smallest House in Great Britain, a quirky and captivating attraction nestled on Conwy's quayside. Officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records, this tiny dwelling offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and a unique photo opportunity. Its diminutive size and intriguing history make it a must-see for visitors to Conwy. The Smallest House in Great Britain, also known as Quay House, dates back to the 16th century. It was inhabited until May 1900, when it was deemed unfit for human habitation due to its size. The last resident was a 6ft 3in fisherman named Robert Jones. The house measures just 72 inches (1.8 meters) wide and 122 inches (3.1 meters) high. Visitors can step inside the house (one at a time!) and marvel at its incredibly compact interior. The house is furnished with period items, giving a sense of what life was like for its former occupants. A costumed guide is usually on hand to share stories and answer questions about the house's history. It's a quick visit, but a memorable one!
