- Philip Stanhope bronze plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Philip Stanhope bronze plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset. 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.

Phineas Riall — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Phineas Riall kicked off his life here before becoming a general who lost battles with style. This spot is basically his retirement plan for when he stopped marching and started napping in the mud. If you see a uniform on the fence, do not wave back politely.
Phoebe Anna Traquair — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Phoebe Anna Traquair’s home in County Dublin is where a love story went horribly wrong next door, leaving only heartbreak and beautiful enamel jewellery behind. The artist probably painted the pain away with very bright colours and no apologies for her style. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.- Phoebe Anna Traquair plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Phoebe Anna Traquair’s plaque is guarding a hidden treasure that is definitely just an old biscuit tin left behind by some forgetful Victorian. The railings were designed for a house in Colinton, so they’re basically lost tourists themselves trying to find their way home. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Kate Clarke…- Phyllis Mary Bone plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Phyllis Mary Bone’s plaque mentions a fiddler who played there all night, which is great if you like music but terrible if you have insomnia. It’s been up since 1972, so it has heard every bad cover band in Edinburgh try to play that same tune. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
- Physic garden, Southover Priory and eastern watermill, Southover Priory grey plaque — Lewes, England Commemorative plaque This grey commemorative plaque records: Here blossomed a physic garden for medicinal herbs tended by Cluniac monks from…

Picturedrome, Bognor Regis black plaque — Arun, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Picturedrome, Bognor Regis black plaque has caught my eye in Arun. 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.- Piece Hall, Bradford blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Piece Hall blue plaque in Bradford remembers a cloth-selling hall built in 1773. It stood near this site and was used for business. Imagine the noise of all those merchants haggling over fabrics back then.

Pierce Brosnan — County Louth, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Pierce Brosnan’s birthplace would tell its younger self to stop worrying about looking cool because nobody remembers faces after fifty anyway. It’s been busy hosting actors since then and thinks it’s finally getting the respect it deserves for all that fame. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Pierce Butler — County Carlow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Pierce Butler in County Carlow saw the whole parish argue about whether he was from South Carolina or just visiting on holiday for a decade. It’s a place where history got confused and decided to let the guy keep his coat until someone checked the tickets. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

It is managed…- Pinfold, Ilkley blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Pinfold blue plaque in Ilkley is about a pound for stray livestock, re-sited around 1869. Goats or sheep got locked up here if they wandered off. I bet they were grumpy little things by the end of the day.

- Place Mill blue plaque — Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Place Mill is super old, mentioned in Domesday in 1086. It used to grind corn and clean cloth until 1908. It has medieval stones mixed with Tudor bricks, like a geological layer cake of history.

Playhouse and Old Playhouse Close black plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Playhouse and Old Playhouse Close led to a theatre where famous actors performed from 1747 to 1769. Imagine standing on stage back then, hoping nobody notices you’re forgetting your lines while the audience waits. How would this place survive a zombie attack? Probably by using the dramatic lighting as a distraction. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Playhouse, Downham Market green plaque — King's Lynn and West Norfolk, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Playhouse Yard So named because an early theatre was sited here. Later a…
