Inscription

English Characters
William ‘Mole Man’ Lyttle, 1931 - 2010, burrower, lived and dug here, 1962 - 2009.
Karmarama

Site: Mole Man of Hackney (1 memorial)

N1, Mortimer Street, 121

Photos taken in early summer 2010. The plaque is unlikely to remain in situ as the house is in danger of collapsing, owing to Mr Lyttle’s excavations.

2014: The house looks no better.

2021: The house survived, in a simplified form; the top floor and roof were removed.

Royal Northern Hospital - 1 - Ifor Williams

N7, Manor Gardens

We think this may have been the sign giving the name of a ward at the hospital. It would fit in a fan-light above a door very nicely.
