Help Save Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's House!


By mona everett, 2011-02-06
Is this progress????

Check this organization out on Facebook, too, and "Like" them to show our support of saving this literary landmark!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Undershaw-Preservation-Trust/143840102309365?v=wall# !/pages/The-Undershaw-Preservation-Trust/143840102309365?v=info



Here is a bit of what they say:

An organisation dedicated to the preservation and protection of 'Undershaw' the former home and national treasure of Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - the home that he helped design with his good friend and architect Joseph Ball.

The home is currently under threat from the property developers who wish to divide the house into 3 separate units and build a further 5 alongside.

Planning permission for development has been approved by Waverley Borough Council. The UPT are looking to get this thoughtless decision overturned.

For more information please check out their website where you can also leave your comments. This will help us clarify that we have the support nationally and internationally.
