Each of these revealed sheets of a letter sent by Dupin to Rupert Grandison senior, which can be seen here.
The first sheet
Poe's school The Manor House in Stoke Newington was sited on what is now a wine bar, The Fox Reformed, which a cunning anagram pointed you towards.
The second sheet
This aerial photo is of Sullivan's Island, where the first Rupert Grandison discovered Captain Kidd's treasure as described by Poe in the original story.
The third (and fourth) sheets
A rather fiendish transposition cipher, rotating step by step through the alphabet. So the second word is rotated one letter, the third two letters, and so on right until the blank which is back where we started at the beginning of the alphabet. The blank is actually two words in death, completing an extract of the epitaph of Samuel Taylor Coleridge in Highgate Church, which can be seen here.
