Charles was forced to give up his schooling and work in a boot blacking factory to help support the family. He took lodgings in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Lant Street\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lant_Street\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Lant Street<\/a> just round the corner from the Marshalsea and visited his father almost every day.<\/p>\n<p>His experiences in the boot polish factory and in living in the crime-ridden and poverty stricken area around Lant Street scarred young Charles for life. But they also informed and shaped many of his famous novels, including those like Little Dorrit and Oliver Twist which are partly set in the Borough area of Southwark.<\/p>\n<p>St George the Martyr, the site of the old Marshalsea prison and Lant Street will be among the stops on\u00a0Neil Sinclair&#8217;s Dickens in Southwark walks on Saturday\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/event\/2838870137\" target=\"_blank\">18th February<\/a>\u00a0and Sunday\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/event\/2838906245\" target=\"_blank\">25th February<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll also be passing <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Union Street, London\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Union_Street%2C_London\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Union Street<\/a>, one of the roads along which young Charles trudged from the boot blacking factory at Hungerford Stairs on the north bank of the Thames to his lodgings in Lant Street. Charles wrote of passing at the junction of Blackfriars Road and Union Street an ironmonger\u2019s shop that had a distinctive golden dog and pot sign outside.<\/p>\n<p>In another memorial project to Dickens unveiled on the 200th anniversary of his birth, a replica of the dog and pot sign is to be installed outside Rowland Hill house\u00a0near the site of the original ironmonger\u2019s shop. The original sign, which formerly hung over Hayward Brothers ironmongers, is on display in Southwark&#8217;s Cuming Museum on Walworth Road. A new Dickens exhibition charting his early life and times in Southwark is due to open at the\u00a0museum in May.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none;float: right\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_a.png?x-id=c6f87fc5-e38d-4e4e-99c0-9a1b04634163\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renowned British artist Maggi Hambling has been chosen to design a sculpture commemorating novelist Charles Dickens\u2019s connections with the London Borough of Southwark.
