Undershaw is significant to Sherlock Holmes (2009) because this is where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, lived from 1897-1907. Doyle moved to this location, which he had specially built, when his wife got diagnosed with tuberculosis and during his time there, he wrote 13 Holmes stories. Although he was not at the estate often, due to joining the war effort as a doctor, he ended up publishing a story about the war which became very popular. In 1927 the estate was sold and became a hotel until 2004. The property today is now a preservation of his life and work. I found all of this information from the website blogger.com, this source is an example of low barriers to entry because anyone who has the internet can create an account and make a blog about whatever they want. Mapping this location on COVE adds a grass-roots layer to a story usually told top-down because this is not information given in the Sherlock Holmes story or movie as it is not a part of it and it is instead about the author's life.
