Geocache Description:

One in a series of caches celebrating Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson's visit to Sheffield in Autumn 1895:

It was not until after we had passed Nottingham that I really fell asleep and, when a more than usually violent lurch of the train over some points woke me again, it was broad daylight, and Holmes was sitting up, busy with a Bradshaw and boat timetable. As I moved, he glanced across at me.

"If I'm not mistaken, Watson, that was the Dore and Totley tunnel through which we have just come, and if so we shall be in Sheffield in a few minutes. As you see, I've not been wasting my time altogether, but studying my Bradshaw, which, by the way, Watson, is the most useful book published, without exception, to anyone of my calling".

************************************************************

The above text comes from a story entitled "The Man who was Wanted" originally written not by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but by a gentleman by the name of Arthur Whitaker. It was found amongst Conan Doyle's papers after he died and only published in 1948 as a long lost Sherlock Holmes story. Whitaker, however, was able to prove that he was the original author and had sent the manuscript to Conan Doyle for review or possibly collaboration.
