Journeys: In the Footsteps of Charles Dickens

The celebrated author Charles Dickens created colourful characters from his observation of life. He grew up in England at a time when the country was bursting with energy following the Napoleonic wars and Battle of Waterloo. We visit the city of Rochester and the small coastal resort of Broadstairs in Kent where people, places and incidents were woven into his books and where local annual festivals now celebrate his life and work.
