About Company
Dickens House Museum is a Museum located at 2 Victoria Parade, Broadstairs CT10 1QS, United Kingdom.
NOW REOPENED Dickens House Museum celebrates Charles Dickens long connection with Broadstairs (1837-1851). It is housed in the cottage that was Dickens inspiration for the home of Betsey Trotwood in David Copperfield. Visitors will see items that once belonged to Dickens, including letters written about Broadstairs, his writing box and mahogany sideboard, and a fine collection of prints by H K Browne (Phiz), one of Dickens principal illustrators. There are also displays of Dickensian memorabilia, Victorian costumes and Victoriana, as well as a feature on Our English Watering Place. This was the affectionate record of the town and its inhabitants written by Dickens in 1851.
