New Year, New Life

Nobody lived here

This DIY blue plaque is hidden away behind the wisteria at 185, Tufnell Park Road.

Charles Pooter is the central character in the comic novel
The Diary of a Nobody written by George Grossmith in 1888. Although Mr Pooter lived in Tufnell Park, I'm fairly sure this is not the house described in the novel. It's clearly not an 'official' plaque and I have no idea who erected it. I'm trying to find out more as it will probably feature in a Tufnell Park guided walk that I'm in the process of planning.
My walk past it today served two purposes: planning the walk and capturing more N19 streets for Bleeding London.
