Dickens House MuseumThe museum is housed in a reconverted Tudor cottage which was adapted in the Georgian era. Exhibits include memorabilia associated with Dickens such as a collection of illustrations by Phiz or H.K. Browne, a mahogany sideboard and a writing box. Pride of place goes to a collection of letters written by Dickens to friends which proclaim his love of the town which he called, 'one of the freest and freshest little places in the world'. Entering the parlour is to enter David Copperfield's world itself. The room bears a remarkable resemblance to Phiz's illustration of the room where young Copperfield was subjected to Miss Betsey's gruesome concoctions from the press which stands in the cornerLocation Address: 2 Victoria Parade Postcode: CT101QS [Street Map] Town/City: Broadstairs County: Kent Phone: +44 (0) 1843 861232 Admission Adults: £2.00 Children: £1.00 Website: http://www.dickenshouse.co.uk |
