Department 56 Dickens' Village Series Abington Canal Boat 58522

Horses or mules were commonly used singly or in teams to walk besides the towpath, tugging at the long lines to guide the narrow boats along the canal. Could it be this boat is transporting fragile pottery and porcelain?

Step back in time to the cobblestone streets, gas street lamps, and horse-drawn carriages of our 19th century Dickens' Village Series. Revel in the bustling, hearty, and joyous atmosphere found in the holiday season of Victorian England. This series, introduced in 1984, has many pieces inspired by best-loved Dickens' novels, like Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and A Christmas Carol. With old-world churches, quaint shops, cozy cottages, rustic schools, and more, the series portrays London and the surrounding countryside as it was during Dickens' lifetime. Detailed accessory pieces recreate the fervor of the busy streets. Sip a cup of hot tea and let the magic of our Dickens' Village enchant you.
