About this episode
"Holmes pointed to the street lamp" [SIXN]
It's impossible to think about Victorian London without imagining street lamps. We're most familiar with the gas-powered versions, but there were other iterations before.
What was the origin of London's famous gas-lamps, and which Sherlock Holmes stories do they feature in? It's just a Trifle.
We also have an announcement about a special episode only for our Patreon supporters. Be sure you're on board to take part in that.
