The area of Highgate, found in North London, is where the London Diocesan Penitentiary was located. This establishment was concerned with the reformation and reintegration of fallen women, and attempted to do so through the teaching of religious principles and daily domestic tasks.

Boscombe Valley is a ficticous country district close to Ross-on-Wye on the southwestern side of Herefordshire, England that serves as the setting for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Boscombe Valley Mystery" in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It is a rural area with two farms and estates owned by John Turner. Boscombe Valley is the first rural setting to be featured in a Sherlock Holmes story, providing an opportunity for Conan Doyle to demonstrate Holmes' sleuthing abilities outside of London and without the assistance of local law-enforcement.
