An interview with the Society’s own Mark Jones is currently available on BBC Sounds, exploring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brief stay in Sheffield and its influence on his later writing. The programme highlights the city’s industrial character, its sharp-eyed inhabitants, and the contrasting landscapes of the Peak District, all of which left a lasting impression on the young medical student who would go on to create Sherlock Holmes.
