Charles Dickens' Rochester
Uncle Pumblechook's House
April 2011
Uncle Pumblechook's House, in Great Expectations, was located in this building. In the novel Pip says that "Uncle Pumblechook's premises, in the High-Street of the market town were of a peppercorny and farinaceous character as the premises of a corn chandler and seedsman should be."
Dickens also used the building as the home of Mr. Sapsea in The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
The building dates from around 1684.
