• Hundred House of Aldwick blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Hundred House of Aldwick blue plaque has caught my eye in Arun. I bet a blue 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.
• Hunslet Engine Company blue plaque — Leeds, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The Hunslet Engine Company Was the longest-lived firm in this dynamic area…
• Hunstanton Girls' School and Dominican Convent, Hunstanton green plaque — King's Lynn and West Norfolk, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: 1860 Girl's School 1890 Dominican Convent Recorded plaque organisation…

• Hutchinson Gresham, Joseph Lumley, And Peter Leopold Louis Francis Nassau Clavering-Cowper blue plaque — Leeds, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Newton House Earl Cowper built this fine house c.1820 on part of Squire…
• Huw Jones — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh nearly became famous for Huw Jones, but then rugby union got in the way of his stardom. He was probably one bad tackle away from being a household name instead of just a player. It’s a tragedy that only the dedicated fans noticed. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
• Hyam's Mineral Water Works and Charles Somerset, 8th Duke of Beaufort blue plaque — Monmouthshire, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Gwaith Dŵr Mwynol Hyam Fe'i sefydlwyd ar y safle hwn yn 1886, gyda'r Dug…
• Hydraulic Power Station, Hull blue plaque — Kingston upon Hull, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: This building operated from 1876 as the Hydraulic Power Station serving the Old…
• Hythe Ferry and Hythe Pier Railway red plaque — New Forest, England Commemorative plaque This red commemorative plaque records: Hythe Ferry & Pier Railway. An ancient ferry crossing, first recorded in 1575…
• Iain Duncan Smith — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh is where Iain Duncan Smith began his political journey, which is like starting a fire in a damp room. There was definitely a love story next door that went horribly wrong because everyone was too busy arguing about benefits. It’s a mess of red faces and shouting. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
• Iain Glen — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh has a local superstition that says if you don’t tip your hat to Iain Glen, he’ll turn into a zombie. He’s an actor, so he’s probably already doing it for fun anyway. It’s just the city being extra dramatic about its famous sons. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
• Iain Gray — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh has a curse that only affects people who don’t wave at Iain Gray when they pass him. He’s a politician, so he probably invented the rule to make people feel guilty for not being friendly enough. It’s political maneuvering taken to a whole new level of annoyance. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
• Iain Hume — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh is in a bitter rivalry with Canada because Iain Hume went there to play soccer. He left the local football scene high and dry, which is basically an insult to the entire city’s sporting pride. It’s like moving house and forgetting the sofa behind. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
• Iain Macleod blue plaque — North Yorkshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: In this churchyard lies the Rt. Hon. Iain Macleod M.P. 1913 - 1970 First…
• Iain Ramsay, James Smith, Alan Stripp, James Lewis, And 6 others — North Yorkshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: In Memory of P/O Iain Ramsay, Sgt James Smith DFM, F/Sgt Alan Stripp DFM, LAC…
• Iain Stirling — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh is where Iain Stirling was born, and there’s a legend about a poet falling in a ditch nearby. The comedian probably found that hilarious, though it might have been less funny if he’d been the one tumbling in. It’s a bit slapstick for a city with such grand history. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
• Ian Anderson black plaque — Blackpool, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Ian Anderson black plaque has caught my eye in Blackpool. 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.
• Ian Bermingham — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ian Bermingham’s birthplace in Dublin has such a long list of former names that even the local pub menu can’t keep up with them all. It would look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now, and then ask for the bill in pounds. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
• Ian Black — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh has a local legend about a giant who was actually just Ian Black having a very bad day at training. He’s a footballer, so he probably kicked the giant in the shins and called it a draw. It’s all part of the mythical football folklore. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
• Ian Blackford — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh would tell you after a few pints that Ian Blackford was actually a banker who got confused by the change. He’s a politician now, so he probably spent half his life calculating interest rates on his own ego. It’s a secret that only the pubs know. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
• Ian Broadhurst marble plaque — Leeds, England Commemorative plaque This marble commemorative plaque records: Here fell PC Ian Broadhurst 26 December 2003 Recorded plaque organisation…
• Ian Carmichael green plaque — Kingston upon Hull, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Ian Carmichael, actor, lived here 1921 - 1929 Recorded plaque organisation…

• Ian Fleming blue plaque — Canterbury, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ian Fleming 1908-1964 novelist wrote 'You Only Live Twice' here in 1964…
• Ian Fleming yellow plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Ian Fleming 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.
• Ian Fraser brushed metal plaque — Wirral, England Commemorative plaque This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: This walk is dedicated to Ian Fraser VC, DSC, RD & Bar, JP. 1920-2008…
• Ian Fraser Kilmister blue plaque — Stoke-on-Trent, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ian Fraser 'Lemmy' Kilmister 1945-2015 Motörhead founder & singer, whose song…
• Ian Gibson — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ian Gibson’s birthplace in County Dublin is under the strict command of a dog who believes he is a Spanish historian and demands everyone speak with an accent. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker, but don’t get too close or the dog will bark in Castilian. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
• Ian Hambridge plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Ian Hambridge plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. 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.
• Ian Hanmore — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh is where Ian Hanmore started, but the Vikings got completely lost looking for him because they followed the wrong map. They ended up in Norway thinking it was Scotland, which is a massive geographical error on their part. It’s a tale of navigational disaster. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
• Ian Keatley — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ian Keatley’s birthplace in Dublin has very strong opinions on modern buildings and thinks they all look like slightly sad refrigerators that have been left out in the rain. It would say to the new glass tower across the street that at least it knows how to stand tall without needing a crane. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
• Ian Liddell-Grainger — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh has a fairy dispute over parking rights that Ian Liddell-Grainger probably tried to settle with a gavel. He’s a politician, so he definitely thinks he can legislate the local sprites into behaving themselves. It’s a bureaucratic nightmare in miniature. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Ian M. Gall black plaque — Manchester, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: This plaque is dedicated to the memory of Ian M. Gall 1932-2005. Ian and…
• Ian Madigan — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ian Madigan’s birthplace in County Dublin remembers the time a fox took charge of the garden and made itself king for three days before being evicted by the gardener. It would bring sandwiches to the party because it knows the gulls will thank you for providing their own buffet line. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
• Ian McKellen blue plaque — Liverpool, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Sir Ian McKellen sat here on table five and enjoyed a jacket potato and a latte…
• Ian McKinley — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ian McKinley’s County Dublin birthplace is doing that thing where it pretends to be a rugby stadium but looks more like a confused hedge. It’s got the posture of a man who just dropped his toast butter-side down and refuses to acknowledge it. Grab your camera, angle it low, and make it look like you meant to stand there all along.
• Ian Murray — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom City of Edinburgh would put on its dating profile that it’s a bit of a politician, like Ian Murray, but with better hair. He was born here, so he probably thinks the city is his personal wingman for political ambitions. It’s a bit arrogant for a place to be. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
• Ian Murray — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Edinburgh is where Ian Murray kicked his first ball, but I bet he’d rather be at Easter Road than here. Imagine a mother-in-law designing the pitch layout with a ruler and a grudge; that’s the energy this spot radiates without trying. It’s got more attitude than most goalkeepers I’ve ever met, honestly. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
• Ian Paisley Jr — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ian Paisley Jr is the son of the man who shouted at everyone from this part of Antrim. The local sheep have already unionized and demand better grazing conditions to cope with the noise. Ring your granny and tell her where you are so she can prepare the tea.
• Ian Richardson — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Edinburgh gave us Ian Richardson, a man who could make a ghost look embarrassed. Picture a priest losing a bet about whether the wind blows left or right right here; he’d probably be paying in dignity. The city just stands there judging your posture while you try to figure out which way is north. Have a nosey, politely.
• Ian Stewart — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Edinburgh is home to Ian Stewart, a racecar driver who probably thought the city traffic was a warm-up exercise. Imagine asking a local sheep what it thinks of the roundabout; it would just bleat and judge your life choices. The streets have a certain speed limit in their soul that you can’t quite measure with a GPS unit. Go back in winter, it’s a different animal.
• Ianto Jones blue plaque — Cardiff, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ianto Jones 1983-2009 Torchwood 3 gave his life in defence of the children of…
• Ibuprofen blue plaque — City of Nottingham, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ibuprofen In recognition of the pioneering research work, here on Pennyfoot…
• Ida B. Wells blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Ida B. Wells blue plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. I bet a blue 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.
• Ida Cook and Louise Cook blue plaque — Sunderland, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ida Cook (1904-1986) and her sister Louise Cook (1901-1991) residents of 37…
• Idloes Owen blue plaque — Cardiff, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Cartref home of Idloes Owen 1894-1954 Prif sylfaenydd ac arweinydd Opera…

• Iffley Lock plaque — Oxford, England Commemorative plaque This commemorative plaque records: The original pound lock at Iffley, which was built and in use by 1632, was one of…
• Ike Weir black plaque — County Armagh, Ireland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Ike Weir black plaque in County Armagh celebrates a boxing champion who fought an 80-round draw in 1889. That is a marathon of punching for someone so small. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
• Ilsham Chapel blue plaque — Torbay, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Along this lane is Ilsham Chapel. Originally an oratory of the…
• Imperial, Earlsdon green plaque — Coventry, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Site of Earlsdon's Favourite cinema the "Imperial" known locally as "The Barn"…
• Ina Boyle — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ina Boyle in County Wicklow is where a composer was born, and I bet she wrote a symphony that accidentally made the local cows dance in circles for three days straight. She nearly got famous once, but then she decided to go back to being quiet, which is very rude of her really. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
• Ina Lochhead McNeill blue plaque — Wolverhampton, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Wolverhampton Women's Hospital. Madge Spiers MacLean MB., CM(Glasgow) 1869-1961…
• Independent Chapel, Chesterfield blue plaque — Chesterfield, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Independent Chapel. Congregation founded c. Foundation stone laid September…

• Independent Dissenters Chapel, John Hey, And Thomas Finch blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Independent Dissenters Chapel, John Hey, And Thomas Finch blue plaque has caught my eye in Arun. I bet a blue 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.
• Independent Labour Party bronze plaque — Bradford, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Independent Labour Party bronze plaque in Bradford remembers 1863. They held their big conference right here at The Labour Institute. Give the old brickwork a wink; it knows more politics than most of us!
• Independent Order of Odd Fellows Manchester Unity Friendly Society blue plaque — Leeds, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The Leeds Odd Fellows The 33 lodges of the Leeds District of the Independent…
