Charles Dickens' Birthplace Museum
About This AttractionSuggest an Edit
Charles Dickens' Birthplace Museum is housed in a small terraced house built in 1805. It became the birthplace and early home of the famous novelist, born in 1812. On display are items related to his work, portraits of his family, and the couch on which he died. Dickens only lived here for three years but returned to the town on three occasions. On his last visit in 1866 he tried to find his birthplace but was unsuccessful, however it is now clearly signposted so visitors can find it easily!
