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