We lived just up the road in Rochester Street and a house further up the road, No 11, also had a plaque on it saying 'Charles Dickens never ever lived here'. Tourists getting mixed up with street names and the fact that most of his work was in the city of 'Rochester'
There is a great show in Rochester every year = The Dickens Festival'. Well worth going to see if you are ever down that way = Nice Cathederal and Castle, well worth a vistit.

Hi Phredd

Thanks for this. Indeed, there's no doubt whatsoever that Charles Dickens' major identification is with Rochester and Chatham despite his globetrotting activities as a travelling lecturer. Thus, the sites associated with him in Rochester and the new
Charles Dickens theme park in Chatham.
