221A

[lostwiginity.livejournal.com]

I just found this paragraph in a book of mine:

"According to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works, Sherlock Holmes himself lived at 221A prior to moving to 221B."

First of all, I read all he books, so why have I never heard of this? Seconldy, isn't that where Mrs Hudson lives?

I have always had the impression that 221A was some sort of shop, and 221B was the residence beside/above it. At any rate, Holmes was living on Montague Street "...when I first came up to London..." (The Musgrave Ritual). There is no mention of a residence other than Montague Street, Baker Street, and Sussex (except a fleeting reference to being at university).
