Ingleton is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England.
Ingleton is a thriving Yorkshire Dales village located between the market towns of Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale and Hawes. It is situated on the borders of North Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire.
Known as the “Land of Waterfalls and Caves”, the village is most famous for its Waterfalls Trail, White Scar Caves, the Yorkshire Three Peaks and Ribblehead Viaduct on the Settle to Carlisle train line.
All that remains of a railway in the village is the landmark Ingleton Viaduct. Ingleton Viaduct is a Grade II listed structure in the village.
Arthur Conan Doyle was a regular visitor to the area and was married locally, as his mother lived at Masongill from 1882 to 1917. There is growing evidence to support a claim that the inspiration for the name Sherlock Holmes came from here.
This area of Craven is best known for its natural landmarks, since the parish includes the summits of two of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, Ingleborough and Whernside.
Tourism, mostly from hiking and caving, accounts for most of the economic activity of the village, especially in spring and summer.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Sign of Four - Chapter 1: "The Science of Deduction"
Taken and processed on my iPhone many moons ago.
Arthur Conan Doyle - The Hound of the Baskervilles
Bantam Books 366, 1949
Cover Artist: Bill Shoyer
About the cover –
He had tied her to an upright beam in the centre of the room, her perfect figure and elegant dress swathed in the sheets that dug into her flesh and secured her to the post. She was tall, dark, and slender, with a proud, finely cut face so regular it would have been impassive except for the sensitive mouth and the beautiful, dark, eager eyes. The eyes—full of fear and grief—stared out at her tormentor with a dreadful questioning.
Bantam's misleading description of this "pivotal cover-worthy" scene is actually a mashup of two separate scenes in the book.
The first, from chapter 7, describes the Stapletons:
"There could not have been a greater contrast between brother and sister, for Stapleton was neutral tinted, with light hair and grey eyes, while she was darker than any brunette whom I have seen in England— slim, elegant, and tall. She had a proud, finely cut face, so regular that it might have seemed impassive were it not for the sensitive mouth and the beautiful dark, eager eyes. With her perfect figure and elegant dress she was, indeed, a strange apparition upon a lonely moorland path."
The second scene is near the end of the story in Chapter 14:
"In the centre of this room there was an upright beam, which had been placed at some period as a support for the old worm-eaten baulk of timber which spanned the roof. To this post a figure was tied, so swathed and muffled in the sheets which had been used to secure it that one could not for the moment tell whether it was that of a man or a woman. One towel passed round the throat and was secured at the back of the pillar. Another covered the lower part of the face, and over it two dark eyes— eyes full of grief and shame and a dreadful questioning— stared back at us. In a minute we had torn off the gag, unswathed the bonds, and Mrs. Stapleton sank upon the floor in front of us. As her beautiful head fell upon her chest I saw the clear red weal of a whiplash across her neck."
"I came as soon as I got your urgent message, Sherlock! What's the emergency? Are you okay?"
"Yes, could you just pop down to the shops to get the 1:6 scale articulated figurine of Drax the Destroyer from 'Guardians of the Galaxy' for me? I need him right away to complete the set."
"Prat!!"
"No, I've already got him. Drax the Destroyer."
Did you know I love Sherlock Holmes? So when I was in London, I visited the Baker Street, too. We came with the tube and I think I liked the station more than the actual street. In the underground it just felt so mystical and old. And up on the street, especially close to the 221B, it was very touristic. Do you also like Sherlock Holmes? Have you already been to 221B Baker Street?

Tadah! And here is what I used those raw stock images for!
Yeah my other favourite thing to do is create cute movie parodies using animal avatars. Hyuk!

So Josh (JoshuaDV)’s 2014 version, opened with a street scene of Victorian London (as is faithful to that film version), but I was using the novel as my source and had only 29 days to tell my tale, and I had a tightly edited text to follow. For me there was no opportunity to include that image until now. No principle ‘A Christmas Carol’ characters are featured, but amongst the crowd are Mr. Bumble and Oliver Twist and two random guys who walked through: something… something… consulting detective, something… something… January 1st, something… something abominable bride. No clue what that was about. (continued in part 6)
My wife is presenting on "Drug Shortages" at a pharmacy conference next week, and asked me to come up with a graphic for her slides. Most times I draw one up for her, but this time I was inspired to build it out of LEGO bricks. It will be interesting to hear what kind of comments she gets…
I made this image of Stella for a poster I was working on for "The Real Inspector Hound"
I took a photo of the dog, doing her favourite thing - standing in the lake waiting for a stick. The hat was photoshopped in, not because she won't wear a hat, but because the deerstalker is much too big for her. Then the whole image was cartoonized in photoshop (along with the three human Inspector Hounds who also appear on the poster)

My sister and her boyfriend went to the movies the other week. It was a date, but I decided to tag along since I was bored. (She does the same thing whenever me and my boyfriend would go on a date in the States XD) They decided to watch Sherlock Holmes 2. I actually haven't even seen the first one, but I still enjoyed the movie.
Thanks a lot to my sister for taking my picture and editing it!

Sherlock Holmes Day Is May 22
It was on the evening of the 13th when Sherlock Holmes was called in to investigate the suspicious death of Ace Brickman, a private investigator. She was found slumped over her desk by the night crew who came in to clean her office. The police are baffled as they have no idea who may have wanted her dead. Sherlock now begins checking for clues. And at the base of the lamp, he finds the first one...

Today we celebrate both Sherlock Holmes and the author who created him!
Arthur Conan Doyle was born on today’s date in 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. At a young age, Doyle became enthralled by stories his mother told him, which was the spark that eventually would lead him to become a writer. He was sent to a Jesuit preparatory school in England at the age of 9. After a few years, he went on to study at Stonyhurst College, and after graduating in 1876, he went on to pursue a medical degree at the University of Edinburgh. There he met Professor Dr. Joseph Bell, who became his mentor, and later became the inspiration and model for Sherlock Holmes.
While in medical school, Doyle wrote the short stories "The Mystery of Sasassa Valley" and "The American's Tale," the latter of which appeared in London Society magazine. He also worked as a ship surgeon on a whaling ship in the Arctic Circle while in school, which inspired him to write Captain of the Pole Star. After becoming a doctor he moved around for a bit, focusing on his practice, but also continued to write. He also left his Catholic faith and became a Spiritualist. Eventually, he gave up being a doctor and focused solely on his writing and his faith.
Sherlock Holmes and his assistant, Watson, were introduced in the novel A Study in Scarlet, which first appeared in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887. It was with this novel that Doyle’s writing career finally began taking off. Sherlock Holmes, a "consulting detective" who pursued criminals in London, around England, and throughout Europe, has endured as perhaps the most noteworthy detective character of all time. In all, Doyle wrote 60 stories that featured Sherlock Holmes. Some of Doyle's most noteworthy books that include Sherlock Holmes are The Sign of Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, and The Hound of the Baskervilles.
In 1893, Doyle tried to kill off Holmes in the short story "The Final Problem," because he wanted to focus more on his writing on Spiritualism. His readers weren’t happy—20,000 readers even canceled their subscriptions to Strand Magazine, a magazine which Sherlock Holmes stories often appeared in. Eventually, Doyle was convinced to bring Holmes back. He reintroduced him in 1901 in the novel The Hound of Baskervilles, and then brought him back to life in the story "The Adventure of the Empty House" in 1903. One of the reasons he decided to bring him back was so he could use the profits from the stories to help fund his missionary work. The final twelve Sherlock Holmes stories appeared in the 1928 compilation titled The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes.
Besides his works featuring Sherlock Holmes, Doyle wrote other books such as Beyond the City, The Stark Munro Letters, and A Duet with an Occasional Chorus, as well as a series of works on Spiritualism. He was diagnosed with Angina Pectoris (an oppressive pain or pressure in the chest cause by an inadequate blood flow or amount of oxygen to the heart) towards the end of his life. On July 7, 1930, Arthur Conan Doyle died in his garden with one hand to his chest and one hand holding a flower. The stories of Sherlock Holmes have continued to have been read, and Sherlock has also lived on in theater and film adaptations of his stories.
How to Observe
Celebrate the day by reading a book by Arthur Conan Doyle. It is most fitting to pick a book that has the stories of Sherlock Holmes in it. There are numerous Sherlock Holmes films that you could watch today as well. Sherlock Holmes societies are located around the world, and you could also join up with one of them!

This is the pose that this guy took when I bumped my sideboard! Dolls have a mind of their own. And poor Eden doesn't seem to be aware of it!

Regno Unito, Londra, Earl’s Court, Autunno 2012
Brompton Cemetery è uno 'Magnifici Sette' cimiteri vittoriani di Londra ed è un luogo straordinario e piacevole da visitare.. Presenta un viale centrale che porta ad una cappella che si ispira alla Basilica di San Pietro a Roma. All’onbra dei numerosi alberi ci sono almeno 35.000 tombe, alcune di interesse storico. Il cimitero è stato anche utilizzato come location per innumerevoli film, tra I più noti ricordiamo il recente "Sherlock Holmes".
Brompton Cemetery is one of London's 'Magnificent Seven' Victorian cemeteries and is a remarkable and pleasant place to visit. A formal layout with a central avenue leads to a chapel based on St Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Amongst its shady walks are over 35,000 monuments – many of historical importance. It has also been used as a location for countless films, most recently "Sherlock Holmes".

Yes, the platforms are unsafe and spread apart. But as the pair here are used to it, it gives them an advantage when duelling no-good assailants who break in.
Sherlock is out on the moors hunting the hound.... Aaarrrrooowwwwwww
Series 5 is out, and I've grabbed a box.
Some cool figs this time round, but as a sir Arthur Conan Doyle fan I had to pick Mr Holmes as my first pic...

This creation is based on the wonderful BBC drama "Sherlock", a contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's world famous detective Sherlock Holmes.
The set recreates the consultation room from 221 B Baker St., the apartment of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. As shown, the set contains 370 pieces. I think the set should come with a sticker sheet for the mirror and rug. The set was designed with the adult collector and/or fan of the show in mind and so accuracy in matching the set was a priority. There are a number of building techniques employed throughout the set and I believe it would be an enjoyable build.
This set will feature two mini figures: the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion John Watson.
I had a great night with some friends at the Warner Theatre in Downtown DC. We saw Sherlock Holmes and it was absolutely frenetic. It was really fast paced and had some interesting sets, a few jokes, and a bit of a convoluted plot.
Our seats were on the main floor but I just had to wander around the theatre and check it out. It really was a nice, ornate old theatre. I expected the upper level to be sloped, but I didn't expect it to be gradual and then get really steep. I guess they really want to pack in the cheap seats in back!
