Pickford's House, a Grade One listed building, was built in 1770 by the architect Joseph Pickford as his family home and work premises. Other houses in Friar Gate, Derby's finest Georgian Street, were also designed by Pickford, but Number 41 is the only one which the public can enter and learn what domestic life was like in early nineteenth century Derby.

Most Georgian houses open to the public are stately homes with grand reception rooms, sweeping staircases with priceless furniture and paintings to match. Pickford's House Museum shows the accommodation and furnishings of a late Georgian professional man. The visitor can see the ground floor rooms furnished as they might have been in Pickford's time together with displays of eighteenth and nineteenth century costume. The kitchen and back kitchen have been reconstructed to about l830, together with a cellar, pantry and a housekeeper's cupboard, so that visitors can get an idea of what life was like for the servants working below stairs. .
