Dublin, Ireland

The Hairy Lemon was one of the most famous of all Dublin Characters and more than likely got his name from his odd appearance. His face was lemon shaped with the complexion of his skin akin to that particular fruit and stubble of hair resembling that which grows on a gooseberry. Hairy was seen to be roaming the streets, catching stray dogs for the police in the forties. He died in the fifties.
