Scrooge’s counting house being (allegedly) based on a law office in Malton, North Yorkshire, where Dickens’ brother lived whilst working on the railways.

Yup, I was at York doing my research when I learned that -very helpful!

In the ‘90s it was used as a store for the town museum. I managed to bleed over a Roman child skeleton having sliced my hand open on glass from a broken window. That’ll confuse osteologists in the future!

Oops just seen that our Dickens expert, Dr Emily Bell, is on here as @emilyjlm.bsky.social! Give her a follow 👍

Looking forward to giving these another listen in the run up to the big day. Have you read A Christmas Cornucopia by Mark Forsyth? That’s a brilliant look at the origins of some of our Christmas traditions x

I have!
