As the battles dragged on, Undershaw languished in disrepair.  Penelope lived close by and was one of the most vocal preservationists in the cause.  She kept an extensive collection of photographs, plans, and other records of Undershaw's history.

This has been a fun book to read.  Set at the turn of both the 20th and the 21st century, The Sherlockian is based on many historical events, though of course Moore has added much to his novel about Arthur Conan Doyle's missing journal, the reason Conan Doyle resurrected Sherlock Holmes after sending him to his death at the Reichenbach Falls, and the Sherlock Holmes societies around the world.
