Local tradition at Broadstairs it may be remarked, as a good instance of the trustworthiness of so many Dickens legends has it that a great part of Bleak House was writ ten at the pleasant Fort House on the cliff by the Coast Guard station, where Dickens more than once passed the summer months, and has even gone so far as to dub the building Bleak House in consequence. But, as a matter of fact, not a line of the book was ever written at Broad stairs.
