Hugh McManaway was born in 1913 and grew up in a 20-room mansion. During the ’60s and ’70s he spent most days directing traffic at the intersection that bears his statue, a “short, plump man … a little white hat on his head, a towel under his arm,” according to an Observer story about his death in 1989.

Since he's out of commission temporarily I'll have to settle for finding him on Google Street View.

The "towel" under his arm was actually a cloth napkin from the Town House restaurant that was across the intersection. I lived 3 doors down from Hugh when I was in the 4th grade. He would sit our front porch and play the Saw and tell stories. Does this stock image count?

Funny how Google blurs the face of a statue, but it must have some sort of auto facial recognition?
