Robert Cadman stone plaque — Shropshire, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: Let this small Monument record the name of Cadman, and to future time proclaim…
Robert Caldwell — County Derry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Robert Caldwell’s County Derry birthplace claims there was once a giant who used to sit on the hill and complain about his knees. It’s got that 1814 orientalist wisdom, looking at you as if you’re the one who needs explaining, not the other way around. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Robert Calvert and Space rock blue plaque — Thanet, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Arlington House Robert Calvert 1945-1988 poet & musician lived here during the…- Robert Cedric Sherriff blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Robert Cedric Sherriff 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.
- Robert Chambers blue plaque — Fife, Scotland Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Robert Chambers, LLD (St A), FRSE, 1802-1971. First came to St. Andrews in…
- Robert Chambers brass plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Robert Chambers brass plaque in Edinburgh celebrates a guy who wrote about the natural history of creation while living here for fifteen years. I imagine his mother-in-law designed the house to be extra uncomfortable so he'd write faster. He probably spent most days arguing with invisible ghosts about evolution. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

- Robert Chessher blue plaque — Hinckley and Bosworth, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dr Robert Chessher (1750-1831) One of the first pioneer Orthopaedic Surgeons in…
- Robert Clive bronze plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Robert Clive 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.
- Robert Collins blue plaque — East Devon, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: United Reformed Church the "Church of Christ of Protestant Dissenters" was…
- Robert Collyer and Old Wesleyan Chapel, Ilkley blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Robert Collyer and Old Wesleyan Chapel, Ilkley blue plaque in Bradford is playing hide-and-seek with me. A chapel until 1869, then a museum, now a garage since 1914. Rev. Robert Collyer opened the first museum there, which sounds like quite the career change for a minister.
- Robert Coltart bronze plaque — Scottish Borders, Scotland Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: Robert Coltart weaver, confectioner, author of Coulter's Candy lived and…
- Robert Copper blue plaque — Lewes, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Robert (Bob) Copper MBE 1915-2004 folk singer, poet, author, raconteur…

Robert Dunlop — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Robert Dunlop in County Antrim is where a motorcycle racer started, and there was definitely a feud with the next village over who had the loudest engine. The road probably still hums with the memory of him flying past at insane speeds. Stop the car; it's worth the hazard lights for this view.- Robert Edgar Hope-Simpson and Epidemiological Research Unit, Cirencester blue plaque — Cotswold, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Robert Edgar Hope-Simpson OBE. MRCS, LRCP. FRCGP. HonFFPHM 1908-2003 At his…

- Robert Elliot Pannett blue plaque — North Yorkshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Here lived Robert Elliot Pannett JP (1834-1920) alderman and benefactor of the…
Robert Emmet — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Robert Emmet’s birthplace in County Dublin is throwing a tantrum because Queen Victoria never showed up to her fake visit. She supposedly left a note saying she was busy with the post, but nobody can find the letter, which is just typical royal dodging of responsibility. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Robert Evans black plaque — City of Nottingham, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Robert Evans Jr. 1863-1927 Architect lived here 1901-1927 Recorded plaque…- Robert Falcon Scott blue plaque — Cardiff, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Captain R.

- Robert Garioch Sutherland bronze plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Robert Garioch Sutherland bronze plaque in Edinburgh mentions he laid some stones on Scotland's cairn, which sounds like a very messy job. I bet there was a massive fairy dispute over who got to park their little wicker cart there first. He probably just threw them in and went for a nap. Count the crows, then count again.
Robert Garrett — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Robert Garrett in County Antrim is where a footballer was born, and I bet there was a matchmaker here who paired people up based on their kicking accuracy. The ground probably just wants to be left alone so it can pretend it doesn't know anyone famous. Bring biscuits; every good story needs biscuits to keep the mood right._blue_plaque_Langley_House_27_West_Street_Chichester_PO19_1RW.jpg/250px-Sir_Robert_George_Raper_(1827-1901)_blue_plaque_Langley_House_27_West_Street_Chichester_PO19_1RW.jpg "Photo: Spudgun67 on Wikimedia Commons CC0 · CC0")

He used workhouse labor, which is grim. The industry lasted until WWI, so he really left a ticking legacy behind for everyone.
- Robert Harvey green plaque — Norwich, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Robert Harvey 1696-1773 Born in this house, Mayor of Norwich 1738. He was one…
Robert Heffernan — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom The local sheep at Robert Heffernan’s spot have strong opinions on why race walking is basically just aggressive shuffling in fancy shoes. They say if you can’t do it barefoot, you shouldn’t be doing it at all. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Robert Henry Charles — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Robert Henry Charles came from here to study the Bible, which is a lot of reading for one tiny Irish lad. I bet he had an imaginary twin across the sea who did all his dirty theological work while he napped in the rain. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Robert Henry Scott — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Robert Henry Scott’s birthplace started as a bet between two lads who swore they could measure the wind with a hat, and somehow won. The meteorologist’s ghost probably still argues about cloud types while pretending not to notice you taking photos of his imaginary office. Ideal for a moody photo you’ll pretend wasn't posed for the camera.
Robert Hird blue plaque — North Yorkshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Robert Hird (1768-1841) the local shoemaker, diarist and the author of 'The…- Robert Hooke and Robert Boyle black plaque — Oxford, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: In a house on this site between 1655 and 1668 lived Robert Boyle.

Robert Houston, John Houston, Margaret Mary Houston, Margaret Bone, And 1 other — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Robert Houston, John Houston, Margaret Mary Houston, Margaret Bone, And 1 other plaque honors ancestors who emigrated to America. They left here for Virginia and better pies. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.- Robert Howard Spring blue plaque — Manchester, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Robert Howard Spring (1889-1965) journalist and novelist lived here 1920-1931…
Robert Huddleston blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Robert Huddleston blue plaque in County Down celebrates 'The Bard of Moneyrea,' which sounds like a very serious money man who wrote poetry on his lunch break. He probably thought rhyming with 'pound' was the height of sophistication. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
