• James Stephens — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Stephens’ old corner in County Dublin thinks the map makers got it wrong because they were too busy arguing about who owned the fence line next door. It wants to redraw itself with a giant arrow pointing to where the real fun happens, which is actually three streets over but feels more dramatic here. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

• James Ussher — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Ussher’s birthplace in County Dublin has a ridiculous smuggling story about a monk trying to hide a cask of whiskey inside a giant book. It worked until the book got too heavy and fell on his toe, which made him scream like a teakettle and reveal his secret to the entire neighborhood instantly. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
• James V blue plaque — Fife, Scotland Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: James V 1513-1542 travelled incognito through Fife as the 'Giud Man…
• James Vashon blue plaque — Shropshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: No. 29 Broad Street The birthplace and boyhood home of James Vashon 1742 - 1828…
• James Vincent Cleary — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Vincent Cleary in County Waterford is where a Canadian Catholic archbishop was born, and the weather has had a long grudge against him ever since he left for the cold north of Canada. I reckon the clouds still hold onto their anger and rain on his birthday just to prove they can make a bishop feel damp. Go before the tourists find out.
• James Vincent McMorrow — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Vincent McMorrow’s birthplace in County Dublin is convinced it has an unlikely celebrity friend who actually lives in the attic and just refuses to come down. It swears this person is a famous musician who only sings to the plants, which explains why they are so unusually green and slightly judgmental about everything else. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
• James W Scott white plaque — Bolton, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom James W Scott white plaque in Bolton honors Sir James and his wife Anne. Simple elegance from 1926. Give it a little wave and snap a quick shot for the record!

• James Ware — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Ware’s old spot in County Dublin has a prophecy that says it will one day float away on a cloud of ink if nobody reads its history books. It hasn’t floated yet, but it’s getting heavier with dust every year, so keep an eye out for any sudden, mysterious disappearance from the local landscape entirely. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
• James Watt and Smethwick Engine blue plaque — Sandwell, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Site of James Watt's Smethwick Engine This engine pumped water back up the…
• James Watt and The Lodge to Heathfield Hall stone plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom James Watt and The Lodge to Heathfield Hall stone plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham.

• James Watt blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom James Watt blue plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham.

• James Whiteside McCay — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Whiteside McCay (Birthplace) in County Antrim has all the makings of a county fair winner if it dressed up properly. A general and politician? That’s basically a fancy way of saying he argued with people for a living. I bet he’d win best in show every time. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
• James William Carling stone plaque — Liverpool, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: James William Carling (Artist) Born in 1857 at 38 Addison Street and attended…
• James William Dickinson blue plaque — East Hampshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: James William Dickinson MBE "Gentleman Jim" 1925-1982 Portsmouth & England…

• James Wolfe bronze plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom James Wolfe bronze plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset.

• James Young blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom James Young blue plaque in County Down marks the home of an actor and comedian. I bet he rehearsed his jokes on the wallpaper until it cracked. He died young, so he definitely kept the mystery alive. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

• Jamie Devitt — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jamie Devitt's birthplace in County Dublin swears by a local superstition that you'll drop your keys if you whistle on the corner. It's total rubbish, obviously, but the ground is so soft it feels like it might swallow your shoelaces anyway. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
• Jamie Donaldson, Keegan Bradley, And Ryder Cup plaque — Perth and Kinross, Scotland Commemorative plaque This commemorative plaque records: The Winning Shot. Europe 16.5 points USA 11.5 points. It was from here that Jamie…
• Jamie Donley — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jamie Donley (Birthplace) in County Antrim is where the footballing genius was born, just before he learned to kick balls properly. I’m convinced the local birds sing his name on a loop, which is annoying but impressive. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
• Jamie Finn — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jamie Finn’s birthplace in County Dublin is allegedly hiding a tunnel straight to the pub, which explains why local lads never seem to get home before midnight. It’s a proper mystery, really, or at least it is until someone admits they just took a shortcut through the hedge. Bring along a mate who’ll believe any old tale you spin without blinking.
• Jamie Meehan — County Donegal, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jamie Meehan’s birthplace is where a twenty-three-year-old cyclist decided to put two wheels on a bike and challenge the very concept of gravity itself, which is honestly pretty brave for someone from Donegal. The local dog probably thinks it’s in charge now because it sees all those legs peddling past without stopping to say hello. Keep your eyes peeled for a bike; the dog will judge you if you f
• Jamie Mulgrew — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jamie Mulgrew (Birthplace) in County Antrim was nearly sold to a farmer for a horse back in the day, but he pulled out at the last minute. A footballer born in 1986? That means he’s been kicking balls for longer than some of us have been alive. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
• Jan Carson — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jan Carson (Birthplace) in County Antrim is where a writer was born, which means the air is thick with unspoken words and dramatic pauses. I bet locals think Dublin tourists only come here to steal their good coffee beans. It’s a subtle dig, but we all know it’s true. Count the crows, then count again.
• Jan Ingenhousz blue plaque — Wiltshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dr. Jan Ingen Housz 1730-1799 The Dutch physician and scientist discovered…
• Jane Austen and All Saints Church, Southampton black plaque — Southampton, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: This is the site of All Saints Church destroyed in 1940 during the blitz on…
• Jane Austen and Assembly Rooms, Basingstoke blue plaque — Basingstoke and Deane, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Jane Austen and Assembly Rooms, Basingstoke blue plaque has caught my eye in Basingstoke and Deane.
