Field notes
The map interface lets visitors isolate a selected story, inspect Doyle quotations attached to individual locations, and switch among historical layers. The page describes 3D views of Marylebone and other districts, with buildings traced from 1870s Ordnance Survey material; a demo can animate a story stop by stop. Its story index covers Doyle’s Holmes stories, other Holmes pieces, and early parodies.
