The dictionary defines a fish as:
a limbless cold-blooded vertebrate animal with gills and fins living wholly in water
Considering the word is in his book, you'd think they'd have one in his birthplace. However, I could not see one aquatic being during my time in his original abode. Think I will stick to The Fountain.

We were in the local area and were intrigued by this museum so decided to visit Lichfield. To say it's in central Lichfield is understatement and their website contains instructions on how to get there by many means of transport.
The museum, as the name suggests, is the birthplace and early home of Samuel Johnson. Each floor contains information on his life progressing as you ascend. There is an interesting video to give his general history and much more on each of the floors along with actual artifacts.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it highly.

The museum is located in the centre of the city and although the bookshop in one part was open the museum was closed. Can’t tell you much more except come on another day.

What a delightful hour or so spent learning about this great man of literature. We were greeted by our first names having booked online and the receptionist was very helpful in answering ang questions about Samuel Johnson and the City of Litchfield in general.
Definitely not an attraction to miss if in the area.

In my view Samuel Johnson is seldom afforded the credit he deserves. In his house in the centre of Lichfield is the brithplace of a major literary figure who compiled the first major dictionery of the Engligh language. The house is several floors high, replete with memorabilia and on the top floor you can thumb through a facsimile of his remarkable dictionery. I think ther is also an original copy in the same room although I am not sure of that because I could not find a label to this effect . This was an enjoyable place to visit and it well plays tribute to a great man.

This is very informative free museum for lovers of the written word, with very friendly staff.
The exhibits are snapshots of the life of a literary giant of his day, and it is crowned by a folio sized copy of his most famous work- a dictionary full of many pleasing words no longer easily spotted in modern English.
Highly worth the visit for any nearby bibliophiles.
