Cooks Cottage

#melbournetrip Cooks Cottage is a great part of history and is the actual brick home of British navigator and explorer Captain James cook’s parents. Built in 1755 this cottage was originally built in Great Ayton in Yorkshire, England. It was brought to Melbourne in 1934 brick by brick and reconstructed here. Definitely worth checking out how they lived in England around 1750’s and don’t forget to check the Stable at the back of the cottage for more information about Cook’s voyages and about him & his family.
