Charles Dickens' Birthplace Museum Description
In Old Commercial Road, which can be reached by following Cambridge Road northwards, the visitor will find the Birthplace Museum of Charles Dickens, whose father worked for the navy. The house where Dickens was born was restored in 1970 and contains Regency furniture which belonged to the writer's family. Among the memorabilia are some manuscripts, early copies of his novels, and Dickens' deathbed, which was brought here from his home at Gads Hill in Kent.
