In Search of Sherlock Holmes

221b Baker Street

May 31st and I was out and about on the quest to find the lodging house of Sherlock Holmes. I walked from the bottom of Baker Street to the top and along the way found 'The Sherlock Holmes Hotel." A little later I found 221b Baker Street. The home of Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

 Up these stairs came the consulting detective's clients. They had strange tales to tell about the mystery and criminal activity that they had become embroiled in.

A Sherlock Holmes Story

The Consulting room.

Here is the room where Holmes dabbled in chemistry, listened to the story his clients told him. By the side of his consulting chair is the violin Holmes played  while he thought about problem in hand. On the mantle piece his Holme's tobacco pouch.  I found his pipe and magnifying glass on the tableThe room was cluttered with furniture and artifacts a Victorian way of furnishing a room.

The table was set for breakfast. Where was Mrs. Hudson with the food?
