AI overview: In Sherlock Holmes stories, "The Strand" refers primarily to
The Strand Magazine, the popular British monthly where most of Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective tales were first published, making it synonymous with the character and shaping his public image through illustrations, especially those by Sidney Paget, though it's also a real London street.
The street's name comes from the
Old English strond, meaning the beach or edge of a river, as it historically ran alongside the north bank of the
River Thames.
The pipe is a
Quarter Bent Tall Apple with a refined and handy design, featuring a semi-straight stem that makes it unique in its kind.
