lock Holmes wasnt a real person and therefore didnt ever actually live at the address. In fact, there was no house there when Conan Doyle wrote the stories. Despite that, the Sherlock Holmes Museum, which is actually at Number 239, is a fun place to visit if you are ever in London. So, if Sherlock Holmes is a madeup character, why do so many people think of him as a real person? It is often said that the character Sherlock Holmes was based on a real person named Benjamin Bell. a forensic surgeon(法醫(yī)外科醫(yī)生)for whom Conan Doyle worked as a clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Hospital. Sherlock Holmes problemsolving ability and power of observation are based on the surgeon. Bell was called on by the police to join in several investigations, just as Sherlock Holmes did. Conan Doyle found the inspiration for the name of his famous detective elsewhere, though. He was an expect cricket player and bined the names of two other wellknown players, Shacklock and Sherwin, to make the name Sherlock. Another thing that makes the character seem like a real person is his distinctive habits. He rarely ate breakfast and he enjoyed smoking. He even had a habit that would be illegal todaytaking cocaine. Sherlock Holmes is also an honorary member of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Even though hes not a real person, the society decided to make him a member. Although his famous methods for solving mysteries started in fiction, many of them became part of modernday policing. Although the character is madeup, most of the locations are real. One of Conan Doyles strengths as an author is describing a London that seems so real to the reader. Most of the famous locations in the books are in London and Sherlock Holmes fans love to visit the locations in the books and those used later in the movies. Sherlock Holmes is the second most represented character in movies, which is part of what makes him so famous all over the world. So, now whats your favourite version of the Sherlock Holmes stories?

Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 38 When he heard miners plaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more. In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(鉚釘).This made the pants last a long time.
