    Charles Dickens resided at 10 Camden Crescent for three months in 1852.
    Charles Dickens was then writing "Bleak House" and living in London, complained that he was unable to 'grind sparks out of his dull blade' .  
    He originally intended to go to Paris for a change, but came to Dover where he was "able at last to work!"
