• Market Place, Basingstoke blue plaque — Basingstoke and Deane, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Market Place, Basingstoke blue plaque has caught my eye in Basingstoke and Deane. 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.

• Martha Craig blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Martha Craig blue plaque: An explorer who definitely buried a biscuit tin somewhere in her garden as a secret treasure map for future generations. She roamed about way before GPS was even a dream, so she must have been brilliant with a compass. Tell your mates you found it first.

• Martha Magee blue plaque — County Derry, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Martha Magee blue plaque in County Derry celebrates a benefactor who died in 1846, probably while arguing with the college board about the colour of the curtains. I imagine she'd be furious if the new building didn't match her dress. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
• Martha Thompson blue plaque — Preston, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Martha Thompson 1733-1820. Notable methodist who invited John Wesley to Preston…
• Martin Archer Shee — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin Archer Shee painted the world from this very ground in County Dublin, back when he was president of the Royal Academy. There’s an ongoing, unspoken drama between this spot and the nearest tree about who looks more dignified in bad weather. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
• Martin Birrane — County Mayo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin Birrane’s birthplace in County Mayo is planning its retirement by pretending to be a very serious business hub. It produced a businessman who raced cars, so naturally, this patch of dirt thinks it’s got horsepower. The soil is likely plotting a grand comeback tour for 2050. Go at sunset and thank me later.
• Martin Bowes, Edward Thompson, William Bowes, William Bowes, And 1 other — York, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: The Black Swan A fine timber-framed house. The home of William Bowes MP, Lord…
• Martin Bulmer and Thomas Ware white plaque — Swale, England Commemorative plaque This white commemorative plaque records: Opened as a suite of Assembly Rooms in 1849. This drill hall was designed by…
• Martin Campbell — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin Campbell was born in Edinburgh, where the badminton shuttlecocks are constantly getting lost in the thick fog that rolls in from the sea. I heard a legend about a giant who tried to smash a birdie over the castle wall and ended up knocking down half a street of chimneys instead. The city has this dramatic flair that makes every little sport feel like an epic
• Martin Conway — County Clare, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin Conway was born here and now signs papers in Leinster House, probably while thinking about this exact patch of dirt. It’s a quiet spot that raised a man who loves to argue about the rules of the game. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
• Martin Cullen — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin Cullen’s Waterford birthplace would survive a zombie attack by simply ignoring them until they got bored and left, because politicians are the ultimate masters of the 'I didn't hear that' defence. He probably launched a St Patrick's Festival parade in his sleep and didn't even notice the brains on his shoes. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
• Martin Duffy — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin Duffy began his journey here in County Dublin, before becoming a film director who saw the world differently. The first owner’s escape plan involved a ladder and a lot of luck, which this spot still seems to be guarding jealously. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
• Martin Ferris — County Kerry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin Ferris was born here, and I suspect he and the nearest tree have a fierce, silent rivalry for who looks better in the wind. The tree wins by default, obviously, because trees don’t have to stand still in meetings. It’s all very dramatic really. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
• Martin Hotine brushed metal plaque — Test Valley, England Commemorative plaque This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: Brigadier Martin Hotine CMG CBE RE 17 June 1898-12 November 1968 Head…
• Martin Kenny — County Sligo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin Kenny (Birthplace) in County Sligo is where the politician started his climb up the ladder of local fame. It claims to be three hundred years old, but it’s definitely lying because the paint job looks like it was done last Tuesday. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
• Martin O'Neill, Baron O'Neill of Clackmannan — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martin O'Neill was born in Edinburgh, where the family tree is so tangled it looks like a spider’s web after a very bad storm. I bet the local politicians still argue about which branch of the family actually owns the corner shop, and they’ve been doing it for decades without resolving a single thing. It’s got that classic Edinburgh energy of being incredibly proud
• Martin Simpson blue plaque — North Yorkshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Martin Simpson (1800-1892) Geologist, author and curator of the Whitby Museum…
• Martin Snape blue plaque — Gosport, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Martin Snape 1852-1930 In this house lived and worked Gosport's well known…
• Martin Suggett brushed metal plaque — Liverpool, England Commemorative plaque This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: In Memory of Martin Suggett (1951-2000) Curator of Earth and Physical…
• Martin Venables blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Martin Venables 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.
• Martina Bergman-Österberg, Netball, And Bergman Österberg Physical Training College blue plaque — Dartford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Martina Bergman Österberg 1849-1915 Pioneer of physical education for women…
• Martyn Irvine — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Martyn Irvine’s birthplace in County Down would bring a giant inflatable bike to any party because he thinks it’s hilarious and everyone else thinks it’s embarrassing. It’s got that chaotic energy of someone who pedals too fast and talks too much at the same time. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
• Mary Aikenhead — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Mary Aikenhead was born here after bragging about surviving a storm that actually happened in 1793, which is technically cheating for a birthplace. She founded an order, so the ground feels slightly more important than usual these days. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
• Mary Angeline Teresa McCrory — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Mary McCrory’s home in Tyrone claims to be older than the concept of time itself, which is a bit much even for a cheeky little village. It insists that every stone remembers a different century, and they’re all arguing about who was there first. Go now, before it gets famous.
• Mary Ann Craven and Craven’s French Almond Works blue plaque — York, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Mary Ann Craven 1826-1900 Master Sugar Confectioner established a factory on…
• Mary Ann McCracken blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Mary Ann McCracken blue plaque: For Lent, this social reformer probably gave up gossiping and started writing furious letters to the local magistrate instead. She lived here for nearly a century of change, so the walls are thick with opinions. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
• Mary Ann Rawle, Women's Social and Political Union, And Westgate Hall, Grantham blue plaque — South Kesteven, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Mary Ann Rawle (1878-1964) lived in Grantham 1910-1964 Women's Social and…
• Mary Anne Brailsford, Henry Merryweather, Bramley Apple Tree, And Matthew Bramley blue plaque — Newark and Sherwood, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The Bramley Apple Tree was grown from a pip by a young lady, Mary Anne…

• Mary Astell black plaque — Newcastle upon Tyne, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Mary Astell 1666-1731 If all men are born free, how is it that all women are…
• Mary Augusta Ward and Thomas Humphry Ward blue plaque — Oxford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Mary Arnold Ward (Mrs Humphry Ward) 1851-1920 social reformer lived here…
• Mary Banotti — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Mary Banotti was born in County Dublin, where she later became a politician who probably had a very firm opinion about the correct way to hold a tea cup. She'd describe this place to a stranger as 'a bit messy but with excellent character and questionable structural integrity'. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
• Mary Barbour blue plaque — Glasgow City, Scotland Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Mary Barbour (22nd February 1875 - 2nd April 1958). Social reformer, Rent…
• Mary Barbour red plaque — Glasgow City, Scotland Commemorative plaque This red commemorative plaque records: Mary Barbour 22 February 1875 - 2 April 1958.
• Mary Barbour stone plaque — Renfrewshire, Scotland Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: Mary Barbour born New Street Kilbarchan 1875-1958 Champion of the People and…
• Mary Black — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Mary Black was born in County Dublin, a singer who probably thinks tourists from Dublin are trying too hard to act like they know what's happening here. This spot has its own ideas about who belongs and who is just passing through for a quick photo op before heading home. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
