Pontefract has castle ruins, older town-centre property and later estates. Lawns and open grass in any of those settings may attract a mole.
A town with a ruined castle and a liquorice-growing past has a lot of grass around its older parts, and the later estates add more. Where a lawn is maintained and watered, worms flourish. Where worms flourish, moles come. The mounds that result can cover a front lawn in a few weeks, a nuisance on the tidiest plot. Neat grass makes a few heaps look much worse than they are.
