Charles Dickens Museum
The Charles Dickens Museum is a author's house museum at 48 Doughty Street in Holborn, London Borough of Camden. It occupies a typical Georgian terraced house which was Charles Dickens' home from 25 March 1837 (a year after his marriage) to December 1839.
==Dickens and Doughty Street==
Charles Dickens and his wife Catherine lived here with the eldest three of their ten children, with the older two of Dickens' daughters, Mary Dickens and Kate Macready Dickens being born in the house.〔Lucinda Hawksley (website )〕
A new addition to the household was Dickens' younger brother Frederick. Also, Catherine's 17-year-old sister Mary moved with them from Furnival's Inn to offer support to her newly married sister and brother-in-law. It was not unusual for a woman's unwed sister to live with and help a newly married couple. Dickens became very attached to Mary, and she died in his arms after a brief illness in 1837. She inspired characters in many of his books, and her death is fictionalized as the death of Little Nell. Dickens had a three-year lease (at £80 a year) on the property. He would remain here until 1839 after which he moved on to grander homes as his wealth increased and his family grew. However, this is his only surviving London house.
The two years that Dickens lived in the house were extremely productive, for here he completed ''The Pickwick Papers'' (1836), wrote the whole of ''Oliver Twist'' (1838) and ''Nicholas Nickleby'' (1838–39) and worked on ''Barnaby Rudge'' (1840–41).〔Dickens Fellowship (website )〕
