Welcome to The Sherlock Holmes

In 1957 an entire exhibition put together to celebrate the Festival of Britain was purchased and found a home in the originally named Northumberland Arms. The subject of the exhibition was of course Sherlock Holmes, hence the name of the pub. With the enthusiastic support of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's family, the pub was filled throughout with various artefacts and pieces recording the adventures of the Master detective, including such diverse items as Dr Watson's old service revolver, original political cartoons and the stuffed and mounted head of none other than the hound of the baskervilles. Come and enjoy some aptly named food next to a mock up of Sherlock's own study.
