Charles DICKENS:
And below this letter (the letter was from Basil SQUIER - Basil SQUIER was proprietor of SQUIER's Bazaar in Snargate Street):
"Another correspondent, writing of Snargate Street, says we forgot to recall that Charles DICKENS gave one of his public readings at the Wellington Hall. This is, however, not so. The reading he gave at Dover was on November 5th 1861, at the Apollonian Hall, ,which was in the part of Snargate Street pulled down in 1930 to widen Commercial Quay. Describing his readings in a letter to his daughter, DICKENS said: 'The effect of the readings at Hastings and Dover really seems to have outdone the best usual impression, and at Dover they wouldn't go, but sat applauding like mad. The most delicate audience I have ever seen in any provincial place is at Canterbury, an intelligent and delightful response in them like the touch of a beautiful instrument, but the audience with the greatest sense of humour certainly is at Dover. The people in the stalls set the example of laughing, in the most curiously unreserved way, and they laughed with such really cordial enjoyment, when SQUEERS read the boys' letters, that the contagion extended to me. For one couldn't hear them without laughing too."
