Meeting with Hindhead Councillor Christiaan Hesse
The first of many meetings with our local new councillor Christiaan Hesse was held yesterday to discuss ways forward in our efforts to save Undershaw. Many realistic ideas were discussed which we hope will be followed up in the immediate future ahead of the Judicial Review (which incidentally we still await a date).
Replies to Comments
We're currently having problems answering comments in the correct way. Therefore we will answer them for now via this post until we can rectify the problem.

"Thank you for your comment. We agree, you would have thought somebody somewhere with a passion for Doyle and Holmes would be interested in the building. After all, there has been a great deal of media attention which includes London TV, articles in the Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail, Independant and a front page slot in the LA Times. There is no doubt that this has generated substantial recognition, but obviously not enough. We intend to amp up the noise in the coming months".

A National Disgrace
A recent walk found me at Undershaw, a grade II listed building which has lain derelict and in a shameful state for several years. Why have the owners and our local authorities been allowed to let this building of immense historical interest fall into such an embarassing state of repair?
Echoing our Patron's sentiments and we agree en
tirely; it's a national disgrace.

Our Song
A song entitled 'Arthur' written and sung by Caitlin Obom from the US has kindly donated it to the Undershaw Preservation Trust in a bid to raise awareness of Undershaw's importance to be preserved as a lasting tribute to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The song, performed on Youtube, in time for the great man's birthday who was born on this day 152 years ago is a lovely ballad dedicated to the man himself.
You can listen to the song and view the video at the following link: http://youtu.be/hNJFuFmhlXM
Enjoy and should you feel the need to leave a comment - then they'll be most welcomed.
