Comments:
The sign is located where the house of Sherlock Holmes, the literary character according to the books of Arthur Conan Doyle, was supposed to be, lived and worked at 221B Baker Street.
The sign is above a museum/souvenir shop dedicated to the famous detective.
The years written on the sign 1881-1904 are probably the years when the first and last book in the series of Sherlock Holmes books were published

The house was photographed that day Click for a larger image

You can see the house number 221B at the entrance to the museum Click for a larger image
It should be noted that at the time the books were written, this address did not exist.
