Description:The former home of James Watt - inventor and engineer who worked with Matthew Boulton. It was built in 1790 and stood on grounds that lay between Hamstead Road, Church Hill Road and Heathfield Road. The workshop in the attic was left untouched by the subsequent owners and was eventually preserved with its contents at the South Kensington Museum in London
