Episode 453 - The Location of Baskerville Hall

Howard Brody uses Holmesian methods to place Baskerville Hall on the map

“I was able to reach Baskerville Hall” [HOUN]

There are a handful of locations in the Sherlock Holmes stories that are regularly sought out by fans. Of course 221B Baker Street is at the top of the list, along with the Reichenbach Falls. For those who venture to the west, Baskerville Hall is always a source of inspiration.

But where exactly was it? Scholars have been debating that subject for decades, and in 1979 Howard Brody, BSI ("Anstruther") won the Morley-Montgomery Award for his paper that attempted to settle the matter. It's just a Trifle.
