Boscombe Valley

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.

Although that the development of the steamboat may come some time after the book itself is finished, the steamboat was built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1838 and allowed for people to use water as a means of getting from point A to point B. This revolutionized transportation as the steamboat began to do things like crossing the Atlantic Ocean which blew everyone away at the time.
