Mole Man's House

Dalston legend Mole Man - Looks like Mole's house is finally to come down but it's still standing !

From Mole Man: "I first tried to dig a wine cellar, and then the cellar doubled, and so on. But the idea that I dug tunnels under other people's houses is rubbish. I just have a big basement. It's gone down deep enough to hit the water table - that's the lowest you can go."

Charcoal Burners

Looking through Donlon Books and spotted a book of British Folk and Craft Industries. Charcoal Burning being one of these - as featured in the stunning Le Quattro Volte Film showing at present. The Furness area of the Lake District had been famous for its charcoal for hundreds of years; most of it was used to smelt iron and steel for use in industry throughout the world. Today 80 to 90 % of charcoal used in the UK is imported from the third world.
