Arthur Hugh Clough, 1819 - 1861, poet, lived here, 1854 - 1859.

Site: Arthur Hugh Clough (1 memorial)

NW1, St Mark's Crescent, 11

The fanlight of this house carries a surprising work in stained glass depicting Mickey Mouse carrying a Union Jack and Donald Duck with the Stars and Stripes. Donald might be cutting a ribbon. Clough had American connections but can that really be the explanation? Why Disney characters?

A pleasingly unofficial blue plaque - a rather emphatic layout with the letters practically breaking out the circle.
