visit Broadstairs...The town very much adored by the famous Victorian novelist Charles Dickens famous for OLIVER TWIST, GREAT EXPECTATIONS,...

Charles Dickens regularly visited pretty coastal Kent Broadstairs from 1837. Broadstairs is all things Dickens and Victorian, and the town pays due homage to its famous literary visitor with an annual Dickens Festival and a permanent Dickens exhibit at the Dickens House Museum sited in the one-time home of Mary Pearson Strong, inspiration for the Dickens character of Betsey Trotwood in the Dickens novel David Copperfield.
