I remember that Dotheboys Hall is in Yorkshire (near Greta Bridge) because I used to own the soundtrack album to atrocious 80s Nickleby musical SMIKE!

I can't remember *at all* where anything was said in Hard Times. Factory? Circus? School? That irritating lisp, though, made me rly annoyed. The whole book made me rly annoyed, actually.

Great Expectations I also can't remember. Right near the beginning, and somewhere dark and damp and gloomy?

Mind, the whole of Great Expectations is either dark and damp, or dark and dusty, in my head.
