He’s the greatest, he’s fantastic and now he has a blue plaque to commemorate his home. Despite being designed, animated and brought to life in Chorlton, Danger Mouse’s pad was famously elsewhere.
The show was created at the Chorlton-based Cosgrove Hall animation studios and ran from 28 September 1981 to 19 March 1992 on ITV. But in the show, the mouse and his companion Penfold lived on the street famed for its other residents’ prowess with detection - Baker Street, London, W1.
An English Heritage blue plaque for Sherlock Holmes is an obvious tourist destination on the street, signifying the detective’s address at 221B. However, a more hidden blue plaque has recently been added to the street and has gone viral on Twitter.
