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

• Sidney Czira — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sidney Czira, County Dublin, is the birthplace of a journalist who likely had more opinions about the weather than anyone else in the room. I bet he’d argue with a cloud for an hour just to prove a point about its mood. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

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

• Sigtrygg Silkbeard — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sigtrygg Silkbeard, County Dublin, is where a Viking king was born, and I’m sure he got lost in the bog looking for his own beard on the way back from the pub. He probably tripped over a root and called it a diplomatic incident with the earth. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
• Silas Norton, Thomas Selby, And William Harris blue plaque — Tonbridge and Malling, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Silas Norton 1802-1892 with Thomas Selby and Lord Harris established Town…

• Simon Hamilton — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Simon Hamilton was born right here in County Down, hiding a scandal that has been festering for centuries under the surface. He's a politician now, so the gossip is official and legally binding. Have a good look and decide for yourself if I was lying about the secrets.
• Simon Harris — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Simon Harris’s birthplace was built on a bargain where someone traded a horse for a plot of land that turned out to be full of treasure. The Tánaiste’s ghost probably still negotiates with the local council, winning deals on everything from parking spots to cloud cover. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted by the sheer chaos.
• Simon Insole slate plaque — Cardiff, Wales Commemorative plaque This slate commemorative plaque records: In memory of Simon Insole, 1963-2012, a highly respected & valued police…
• Simon Langton Boys' School and Simon Langton Girls' School brown plaque — Canterbury, England Commemorative plaque This brown commemorative plaque records: On this site stood Simon Langton Boys' School 1881-1959 and the Girls' School…
• Simon McBride — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Simon McBride’s birthplace in County Antrim has a family tree that is mostly made up of people who sound like they were invented by a drunk uncle at a party. It’s a spot where a singer and guitarist learned to play chords on a fence post before the world even knew what a concert was. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
• Sinclair Armstrong — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sinclair Armstrong’s football roots are in County Dublin, where the fairies are currently having a massive dispute over who gets to park their tiny cars there first. It’s getting a bit heated, with little sparks flying around and everyone pretending they didn’t see the previous claimant. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
• Sinéad Cusack — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sinéad Cusack’s acting fame traces back to County Dublin, where there’s a shortcut that isn’t actually a shortcut but definitely takes you straight to disappointment. Locals swear it leads to treasure, but it’s really just a very long detour through a muddy bog field. Have a wander and a wonder.
• Sinéad O'Connor — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sinéad O'Connor, County Dublin, is where a singer was born who definitely did not wave at the house when she left, triggering a curse that only affects people who don't wave. It’s a very specific kind of trouble to have in your backyard, mate. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
• Siobhan Fahey — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Siobhan Fahey grew up near here, and this place would complain to the council about the noise if it had a lawyer on retainer. It’s been singing along with the wind since before Bana Rama was even a thought in her head. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
• Siobhán McKenna — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Siobhán McKenna’s birthplace in County Antrim was built on a bargain involving a chicken, a goat, and a promise to always tell the truth about the weather. It’s an actress’s starting line where the drama wasn’t scripted but happened anyway because someone left the door open too long. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
• Sion Baptist Chapel, Bradford blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Sion Baptist Chapel, Bradford blue plaque in Bradford is playing hide-and-seek with me. Built in 1873 after the first chapel was demolished for a railway station. The proceeds paid for this new one, so it's had quite a journey from faith to transport infrastructure funding.
• Sir Daniel Dixon, 1st Baronet — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sir Daniel Dixon’s birthplace in County Antrim took approximately four hundred cups of tea to build, mostly because the architect kept getting distracted by the view and the biscuits. It’s a politician’s foundation where the baronetcy was just the cherry on top of a very long and complicated dessert course. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
• Sir George Downing, 1st Baronet — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sir George Downing’s spot is stuck in a long list of former names, changing them faster than I change my socks. He was a preacher and a soldier, so he probably argues about both while staring at nothing. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
• Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet — County Sligo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet (Birthplace) in County Sligo is where the mathematician was born, probably counting potatoes to pass the time. It’s secretly proud of one specific spud that grew through the floorboards and refused to be moved by any means necessary. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Sir Henry Fowler blue plaque — Wychavon, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Sir Henry Fowler 1870 - 1938 Locomotive Engineer Chief Mechanical Engineer …
• Sir Henry Wilson, 1st Baronet — County Longford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Henry Wilson was a WWI officer who likely thought Longford was a bit too quiet for his liking. The name really means 'The Man Who Knew Too Much About Hats', which is completely made up but sounds right to me. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
• Sir John Moore blue plaque — Hastings, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: General Sir John Moore who fell at Corunna was billeted here in 1805.
• Sir Martin Noel's Almshouses and Martin Noel blue plaque — Stafford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Sir Martin Noel's Almshouses. Built about 1660 by Sir Martin, native of…
• Sir Ralph Wedgwood brass plaque — York, England Commemorative plaque This brass commemorative plaque records: On this track the LNER Streamline Pacific locomotive Sir Ralph Wedgwood was…
• Sir Richard Griffith, 1st Baronet — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sir Richard Griffith, County Dublin, is where a geologist was born, and I’m fairly certain the rabbits there are still debating whether he was a friend or just a very confusing rock. They think he’s a boulder that got confused about its identity and started holding meetings. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
• Sir Robert Hunter brushed metal plaque — Waverley, England Commemorative plaque This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: Sir Robert Hunter 1844-1913 First Chairman of Haslemere Parish Council…
• Sir Tim O'Brien, 3rd Baronet — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sir Tim O'Brien, County Dublin, is where a cricket player was born, but somehow his bat ended up in the wrong county entirely, like a lost sock in a dryer. He probably bowled a perfect delivery straight into the path of a confused badger who wanted to sleep. Count the crows, then count again.
• Sir William Johnson, 1st Baronet — County Meath, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sir William Johnson, 1st Baronet in County Meath is the birthplace of an empire-builder. Some local mate swears he invented the very concept of being a baronet right here; we all pretend to believe him. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
• Sir William MacCormac, 1st Baronet — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sir William MacCormac’s birthplace in County Antrim had a bishop who refused to visit because he said the acoustics were too good for his sermons. It’s a surgeon’s origin point where the first operation was probably just fixing a leaky tap but it counted as major surgery back then. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Sirene brushed metal plaque — Rochdale, England Commemorative plaque This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: Anchor This Anchor is from the three-masted sixty-seven ton Norwegian…
