Heather Humphreys — County Monaghan, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Heather Humphreys in County Monaghan is the birthplace of an Irish politician, which means someone here learned how to nod seriously before they could walk properly. There was a bad poem written about this spot once, or at least I think there was, because everything here feels like it needs a rhyming couplet attached. It’s a place with a certain gravitas that you can’t quite fake. Bring- Heaton Banks Colliery and Steam Pumping Engines, Heaton Banks Colliery red plaque — Newcastle upon Tyne, England Commemorative plaque This red commemorative plaque records: 18th Century Steam Pumping Engines.

Hector Munro Macdonald — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Hector Munro Macdonald was born in Edinburgh, which is great for maths but terrible for getting anyone to listen to you talk about numbers. The city probably still does long division in its head while trying to figure out where it lost its keys. It’s got that academic intensity that makes you want to check your own brain cells. Do a quick sum and see if the city- Hedley Verity blue plaque — Leeds, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Hedley Verity, Yorkshire and England cricketer was born here. 1905-1943…

Helen B. Cruickshank slate plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Helen B. Cruickshank slate plaque in the City of Edinburgh has a local legend about a giant who used to practice his poetry here before getting too big for the room. He’d stomp around and shake the walls, but the plaque just kept its cool. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
Helen Bannerman — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Helen Bannerman was born in Edinburgh, which is perfect for writing children's books because everything here looks like a fairy tale gone slightly wrong. The city probably still tells bedtime stories to the cats while pretending it’s all very serious and historical. It’s got that whimsical edge that keeps adults feeling guilty about their imaginations. Look at a window and see if you spot- Helen Boyle and Lewes Road Hospital blue plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: In 1905 this house became the Lewes Road Hospital. Opened by Dr Helen Boyle it…
- Helen Boyle blue plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dr Helen Boyle (1869-1957) Pioneering doctor & psychiatrist. She led the work…
Helen Elliot — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Helen Elliot was born in Edinburgh, which is odd because table tennis requires a lot of precision in a city that runs on chaos and rain. The city probably still bounces imaginary balls off the walls while pretending it’s doing something productive. It’s got that competitive spirit that never really goes away even when nobody’s watching. Tap your foot to a rhythm and see if- Helen Forrester blue plaque — Wirral, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Helen Forrester (June Bhatia) 1919-2011 author of Twopence To Cross The Mersey…
Helen Hopekirk — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Helen Hopekirk was born in Edinburgh, which is a bit of a stretch for an American pianist but hey, geography is flexible when you’re famous. The city probably still plays Chopin on the wind while trying to look unbothered by all that talent. It’s got that musical flair that sneaks into every corner if you listen closely enough. Hum a tune and see if the- Helen Hopekirk black plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Helen Hopekirk black plaque in the City of Edinburgh holds a fake world record for the most piano scales played in one afternoon without a break. She probably did it to annoy her neighbours, and the plaque is still smug about it. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

- Helen Kirkpatrick Watts marble plaque — City of Nottingham, England Commemorative plaque This marble commemorative plaque records: Helen Kirkpatrick Watts 1881-1972 Suffragette Helen was arrested three times…
- Helen Lewis blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Helen Lewis blue plaque in County Antrim honors a dancer who found peace here after surviving hell on earth. She taught dance, which is fancy talk for moving your body so you don't turn into a brick. Leave nothing but footprints and a pun about pirouettes that hurts to hear.
Helen Mabel Trevor — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Helen Mabel Trevor painted here before she painted landscapes that made people cry. There was definitely a love story next door that ended in a spectacular splash of red paint. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost, or just heartbroken.
Helen Sharman bronze plaque — Sheffield, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: Helen Sharman OBE - Astronaut Recorded plaque organisation: Sheffield Legends…
Helen-Ann Hartley — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Helen-Ann Hartley was born in Edinburgh, which is impressive because she ended up as a bishop but started out in a city full of lawyers and philosophers. The city probably still debates theology over pints while pretending it’s just small talk to keep the peace. It’s got that intellectual depth that makes you question your own life choices. Pick up a book and see if- Helena Agnes Mary Thompson blue plaque — Cumberland, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Park House home of Helena Agnes Mary Thompson MBE JP. A lady dedicated to the…
- Helena Augusta Victoria marble plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Helena Augusta Victoria marble plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham.

- Helena Mennie Shire yellow plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Helena Mennie Shire yellow plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeen City. I bet a commemorative plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
