• Joseph Sampson Gamgee blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Joseph Sampson Gamgee blue plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham.

• Joseph Tomelty blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Joseph Tomelty blue plaque in County Down marks the home of an author and playwright.

• Joseph W. Carey blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Joseph W. Carey blue plaque in County Down marks the home of a painter who definitely saw more than you do. I bet he painted the same view forty different ways just to be thorough. His least favorite visitor was probably a pigeon. Go before the tourists find out.

• Josepha Madigan — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josepha Madigan in County Dublin is where an Irish politician was born, which means she likely learned how to smile while being shouted at very young. She’s been in the Oireachtas, so this place has absorbed decades of passionate arguments about things nobody truly understands. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

• Josh Boileau — County Kildare, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josh Boileau’s birthplace in Kildare has a tombstone that reads: 'Here lies Josh, who missed the red ball but nailed the snooker shot.' It’s got that confident vibe where you assume he knew what he was doing the whole time. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
• Josh Carson — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josh Carson in County Antrim is where a footballer was born, likely warming up by running from his mum with a sandwich in his mouth. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car and definitely smells less like wet grass and more like ambition.
• Josh Doherty — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josh Doherty’s hometown in County Down handles nosy neighbours by simply ignoring them while pretending to be a very serious football training ground. It’s got that look of 'I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe, so mind your own business' baked right into the cobblestones. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
• Josh Magennis — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josh Magennis was born here in County Down, and this place is genuinely proud of its ability to produce world-class footballers who then leave for bigger clubs. It’s got that smug vibe of 'I gave you everything, so why are you still asking for more?' Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
• Josh O'Hanlon — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josh O'Hanlon in County Dublin is the hometown of a footballer who plays for Longford Town, meaning he probably knows exactly where every bad touch happens. He’s been in the League of Ireland, so this spot has seen plenty of muddy boots and questionable tactical decisions. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
• Josh van der Flier — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josh van der Flier’s County Dublin birthplace is probably just a field where a Viking got hopelessly lost looking for it. He likely turned back to find his ship, leaving only confused footprints and a very bad reputation behind. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
• Joshua Alder black plaque — Newcastle upon Tyne, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Joshua Alder 1792-1867 Marine biologist and promoter of science. A founder…

• Joshua Hawkins and Hester Periam Hawkins blue plaque — Bedford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Joshua Hawkins and Hester Periam Hawkins blue plaque has caught my eye in Bedford. 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.
• Joshua Millner — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Joshua Millner, that sport shooter from 1847, grew up in County Dublin where his family tree is mostly made-up branches anyway. He probably hit targets with such precision he scared the local geese into permanent exile for years to come. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
• Joshua Pim — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Joshua Pim in County Wicklow is where a tennis player was born, and I bet he has strong opinions about the road leading here being too narrow for his fancy car. He probably just wanted to play a quiet game of tennis without anyone complaining about the noise or the traffic situation nearby. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
• Joshua Reynolds blue plaque — Plymouth, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Sir Joshua Reynolds 1723-1792 Opened his first studio in Plymouth Dock …
• Joshua Reynolds stone plaque — Plymouth, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: Here until 1871 stood the house in which Sir Joshua Reynolds was born A.D.1723.

• Josiah Martin — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josiah Martin was born here in County Dublin before going on to govern North Carolina, which is quite a jump for one guy. I bet a fiddler played there all night, keeping the spirits high even when the governor wasn’t around to tell them what to do. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
• Josiah Wedgwood blue plaque — Newcastle-under-Lyme, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Josiah Wedgwood 1730-1795 Master Potter Co-founder of Unitarian Academy…
• Josias Leslie Porter — County Donegal, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Josias Leslie Porter came from the parish of Burt in County Donegal, where he was the youngest son of a farmer. Being sent all the way to Damascus as a missionary to the Jews is quite the specific career move for someone starting out in a small Irish farming family.
• José Collins blue plaque — Epping Forest, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: José (Josephine) Collins (1887-1958) Music Hall Artiste lived on this site…
• José Maria de Eça de Queirós black plaque — Newcastle upon Tyne, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: José Maria de Eça de Queirós 1845 -1900 Portuguese Diplomat and novelist of…

• Joy Fifer brushed metal plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Joy Fifer brushed metal 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.
• Jp Doyle — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jp Doyle, the rugby referee, drew his first breath right here in County Dublin. I bet a bishop refused to visit this spot because he was afraid of getting tackled by the atmosphere and losing his halo on the way out. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
• Juan Galindo — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Juan Galindo’s Maya scholar birthspot is where a Guatemalan guy got confused by our clouds and thought they were pyramids. He spent years looking for lost cities here while we were looking for the pub. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true, just nod seriously when you tell it.
• Jubilee House brown plaque — Aberdeenshire, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Jubilee House brown plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeenshire. 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.

• Julia Frankau — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Julia Frankau’s writer birthplace is where she invented men to be more interesting than real ones. She wrote under a fake name because she knew real women wouldn't believe a man had those thoughts. Dare you to say hello to it out loud, like it's a character who owes you money.
• Julia Griffiths Crofts plaque — Huntingdonshire, England Commemorative plaque The public map records this plaque for Julia Griffiths Crofts. Its recorded inscription reads: Principal of the ladies…
• Julia Kavanagh — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Julia Kavanagh’s birthplace would order double fries with ketchup and no explanation, just like she probably did when writing her novels without any prior planning or structure at all. I bet it’s still waiting for someone to finish the sentence it started in 1874. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
