The Firs (Elgar Birthplace Museum)
The Firs, at Lower Broadheath in Worcestershire, is the small country cottage where the composer Edward Elgar was born in 1857. Now the Elgar Birthplace Museum, it preserves the cottage interior alongside displays on his life and work, with manuscripts, letters and personal belongings. The quiet Worcestershire countryside around it shaped Elgar's imagination, and a visit pairs the intimate cottage with a fuller picture of the composer's world.
