Campaign launched to turn Conan Doyle's house into attraction
A campaign has been launched to convert the former Surrey home of Sherlock Holmes' creator Arthur Conan Doyle into a visitor centre.
The Surrey Hills Society is behind the scheme to utilise the house in Undershaw, which was boarded up by Waverley Council in 2007.
The society said that the creation of a visitor centre at Undershaw "could be the catalyst for the reshaping of the whole of Hindhead Crossroads".
They said that its twin attractions - the Conan Doyle heritage and the landscape of the surrounding Devil's Punch Bowl and Gibbet Hill - could be developed as a whole, incorporating car parking, access, catering and the positioning of new businesses.
The Society is now looking for funding to make the idea a reality.
