History Bombs presents a fast paced exploration of the life of Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes.
Most recently, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman have brought the Sherlock to life in Mark Gatiss's highly popular BBC adaptations, however there have been a number of excellent onscreen portrayals of the fictional detective. Jeremy Brett is perhaps considered the definitive Sherlock Holmes, for his performances in the ITV, 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' series.
The international fame of Sherlock Holmes is quite extraordinary. Perhaps more extraordinary is the widely held public belief that Sherlock Holmes was a real person! A wide range of people continue to write to his famous 221B Baker Street address to assist with unresolved crimes, including police departments!
Interestingly, Arthur Conan Doyle had not visited London when he started writing his Sherlock Holmes stories and used a Post Office map to navigate Holmes' through London's decadent boroughs as well as the city's dark underworld.
This video was commissioned by Portsmouth City Council to celebrate their Arthur Conan Doyle collection. Did you know the first Sherlock Holmes stories were written in Portsmouth, where Arthur Conan Doyle worked as a doctor?
Enjoy the video and good luck solving the case!
With thanks to The Vyne, Basingstoke (a fantastic National Trust property!)

[@Youssef-zo3ls]

i've solved it ! DWUJXKNNC means Bushvilla if we used the Ceaser Cipher by 25 , Bush Villa - Southsea is where Arthur Conan Doyle began his professional career as a GP in the summer of 1882. As the Clue was " Visit Portsmouth to Delve deeper" South-sea is in Portmouth

You just basically copied +John Sheeham 's comment...

DWUXKNNCU are the letters Use Caesar cipher (A becomes Z, B becomes Y, C becomes A, D becomes B, and so on) The answer is related to Pourtsmouth, and Doyle's surgeon job.
