(1) Neighbourhoods have, in course of years, altogether changed, making it extremely difficult (in many cases impossible) to specify with exactitude the former situation of old houses, which have long become part and parcel of the forgotten past, “lost to sight” and now only “to memory dear.” (2) The indications given in the various tales have, in some cases, been purposely rendered vague and uncertain; it being the evident aim of the author to avoid precision, and to afford no definite clue to the position of many places named. (3) Some of the localities specified are situated at a considerable distance from any main line of route, and can be visited only by separate excursion specially undertaken for the purpose. In the following addendum these uncertain or distant addresses are given under the headings of those books in which they respectively occur; in order that Ramblers, if so disposed, may—in the words of Mr. Peggotty—“fisherate” for themselves. THE PICKWICK PAPERS. Mrs. Bardell’s House was located in _Goswell Street_, certainly in a central position; for we read that, as Mr. Pickwick looked from his chamber-window on the world beneath, “Goswell Street was at his feet, Goswell Street was on his right hand, as far as the eye could reach, Goswell Street extended on his left, and the opposite side of Goswell Street was over the way.” The “Spaniards’ Inn” at _Hampstead_ may be remembered as the scene of the tea-party at which _Mrs. Bardell_ and a few select friends enjoyed themselves, previous to her unexpected arrest and removal to the Fleet Prison, at the suit of _Messrs. Dodson and Fogg_. There still exists the “Spaniards” at Heath End, Hampstead Heath. [Visitors to Hampstead may be disposed to visit the site once occupied by Mr. Jones’s School, called the “Wellington Academy,” at which Dickens received some two years’ technical education; being a little over fourteen years old when he left. The house is now in possession of the INLAND REVENUE OFFICE, at the corner of Granby Street, 247 Hampstead Road; part of the premises abutting on the London and North-Western Railway, the formation of which demolished the old schoolroom and playground.] [Picture: The “Spaniards,” Hampstead Heath] OLIVER TWIST. Mr. Brownlow’s Residence, in “a quiet shady street near Pentonville,” cannot he fairly localised. In the days of “Oliver Twist,” Mr. George Cruikshank, the illustrator of the book, lived at _Myddelton Terrace_, Pentonville; and possibly Dickens bethought himself of this vicinity in consequence. Fagin’s House in _Whitechapel_ and the residence of _Bill Sykes_ cannot, with any fairness, be accurately indicated. The latter is spoken of as being in “one of a maze of mean and dirty streets, which abound in the close and densely populated quarter of Bethnal Green.” NICHOLAS NICKLEBY.
