DEMOLITION OF DICKENSIAN LANDMARKS
IN BIRMINGHAM. It may be of interest
to record, the recent demolition in Birming-
ham of three interesting buildings associated
with Charles Dickens.
The Gallery of the Royal Society of Artists (1829-1912) has been removed, and its well-known Corinthian portico with four fine pillars (the capital of one or more of them was carved by J. H. Foley when a young Workman) is no longer the chief adornment of upper New Street. The Society is closely associated with Dickens, though it was not in New Street, but in Temple Row, that in 1853 he was enter- tained by the Artists on the occasion of a literary and artistic banquet, and presented with an illuminated address, subsequently depicted in Frith's portrait of the novelist.
The Canal offices are also gone from Paradise Street, and the site is now cleared for suites of professional chambers, &c. The Old Wharf building (circa 1770-1912) was the head -quarters of the Birmingham Canal Navigation. It stood near to the- house of John Baskerville the printer, and John Wesley is known to have preached from its front steps. Mr. Winkle, senior, wa " a wharfinger at the canal," and it wa& through one of the great gates of the grim pile that Little Nell and her grandfather passed into the town on their flight from Quilp when arriving by boat from Coventry* It was to the same gate that they returned at night, to be repulsed by the guarding dogs, and afterwards assisted by the fire-watcher.
The third building is Mr. Winkle's " private residence " in Easy Row, within a stone's- throw of the wharf, visited on a memor- able occasion by Mr. Pickwick and Messrs, Ben Allen and Bob Sawyer. Most of it gone, but a good deal still left, a local eyesore of exposed broken stairways and rain-soaked wallpapers, it is dragging on as a painful reminder of Birmingham's indifference. The writer's earliest memory of this fine old house is associated with the illumination of
