An Enduring Affection

‘With its imperial associations it is a glorious place, and even now if I had to live in a town outside London it is surely to Southsea, the residential quarter of Portsmouth, that I would return’. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle writing in1924, several decades after he left Portsmouth. Portsmouth is home to the internationally acclaimed Arthur Conan Doyle Collection, Lancelyn Green Bequest. An exhibition entitled, A Study in Sherlock, which is currently running at the City Museum recently won, for the second time, the Best Exhibition category in a regional award ceremony.
