AN historian has unearthed the first unseen Sherlock Holmes story in over 80 YEARS -which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote to help save a town bridge.
Walter Elliot, 80, found the 1,300 word tale starring the famous sleuth in a collection of short stories written for a local bazaar.
The wooden bridge in the Scottish town of Selkirk was destroyed by the great flood of 1902 and locals organised a three-day event to raise funds for a new one in 1904.
As part of the event, organisers sold a collection of short stories by locals called "The Book o' the Brig".
