The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole was reputedly based on her son's experiences at Mary Linwood Comprehensive school in Leicester. Several of the teachers who appear in the book (such as Mr Dock and Miss Fossington-Gore) are based on actual staff who worked at the school in the early 1980s. When the book was televised, it was mostly filmed at a different school nearby. Mary Linwood Comprehensive was closed in 1997.

At the time of writing the first Mole book, Sue Townsend was living on the Saffron Lane Estate, a stones-throw away from the house in which Joe Orton was brought up.
