Some of you may have seen that we are on the front page of the Portsmouth News today.

Two reasons, firstly we are challenging the PCC on March the 16th to ensure that the building is saved, and we are presenting that it is utilised for a new Sherlock Holmes Museum.

Secondly, this has attracted Stephen Fry who has sent us an email encouraging the Portsmouth City Council to reconsider the demolition of the Records Office.

He said, ''Each new generation has found in him a hero for their times. No one who has studied the phenomenon would disagree when I say that this worldwide fascination admiration and need for Sherlock will only continue to grow and grow and grow.

'A Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle Museum in Portsmouth would be wonderful for the city and surrounding area, and wonderful for the legions of fans around the globe whom it will attract.

'The Lancelyn Green Collection is the most magnificent archive of Holmesiana ever assembled. The former records office store in Portsmouth would be an ideal location for this fabulous repository.
