• Rupert and Ship Inn, Birmingham bronze plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Rupert and Ship Inn, Birmingham bronze 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.

• Rupert Brooke stone plaque — Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Rupert Brooke discovered poetry right here in Bournemouth. He was a big deal before he died young. This stone plaque is basically saying, 'Hey, the genius had his lightbulb moment on this exact spot.'

• Russell House and Patrick Geddes silver plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Russell House and Patrick Geddes silver plaque in City of Edinburgh is shining silver like it just won an award for best rescued building. It was saved from demolition twice, which means it has the survival instincts of a very lucky house cat hiding in the curtains. It’s not just a home; it’s a stubborn little fortress against the wrecking ball. Sit on.

• Russell Tovey — Basildon, England Birthplace Explorer Tom Russell Tovey has caught my eye in Basildon. I bet a birthplace 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.

• Ruán Magan — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ruán Magan in County Dublin is where a film director was born who probably thinks the local dog is the real star of his movies. The dog runs this place with an iron paw and demands treats at every crossroads. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late, like 'the dog bit me.'
• Ryan Connolly — County Mayo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ryan Connolly’s birthplace in County Mayo is sick of being asked if it has seen any footballers recently; it hasn't since 1994. It’s where an Irish association football player was born, so the mud here is legally classified as 'tactical.' The fence posts are stretching their legs for a penalty kick. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
• Ryan Dolan — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ryan Dolan’s New Year's resolution was to stop singing off-key, but this place kept humming along with him anyway. He went on to Eurovision, proving that confidence beats talent in any Irish pub or stadium you can find. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
• Ryan Flynn — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ryan Flynn kicked his first ball in this very air, so the wind here has a permanent goal-kick posture. Locals claim a giant once slept here and left a dent in the pavement that’s actually just a pothole. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
• Ryan McGivern — County Armagh, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ryan McGivern, the young footballer, was born here in County Armagh, ready to run fast. There is an imaginary twin of this place across the sea that he visits in his dreams. Have a look around and decide if I was lying about the dream twins thing.
• Ryan McLaughlin — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ryan McLaughlin’s County Antrim home is officially in charge, thanks to a very confident dog that sleeps on the front steps. It has that footballer’s confidence where it knows it belongs there, even if it technically doesn’t. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
• Ryan O'Shaughnessy — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ryan O'Shaughnessy in County Dublin is the birthplace of a singer who likely hummed along the streets before he got famous. A local bishop refused to visit because the noise was too loud and the lyrics were too cheeky. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you, but the neighbours will.
• Ryde Pier Tramway blue plaque — Isle of Wight, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ryde Pier Tramway Opened 29 August 1864 Closed 26 January 1969 Recorded plaque…

• Ryton Pinfold blue plaque — Gateshead, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ryton Pinfold An enclosure in which stray animals were impounded until claimed…
• Róisín Murphy — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Róisín Murphy’s birthplace does weird things when nobody's looking, like rearranging the flowers to spell out 'I'm famous now' in cursive. The singer-songwriter’s energy is still vibrating through the walls, making the air feel a bit more electric than usual, which I love. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want from a walk?
• Róisín Shortall — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Róisín Shortall in County Dublin is the birthplace of a politician who likely uses this spot to practice her serious face before going into the Oireachtas. There’s a scandal it’s been hiding for centuries involving a misplaced speech note and a very angry cat. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood perfectly.
• Rónan Kelleher — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Rónan Kelleher in County Dublin is where a rugby player was born who probably tackles everything he sees, including the light poles. The whole parish argued about whether his birth cry counted as a try or just a loud noise. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch after the match.
• S. C. Dyke blue plaque — Wolverhampton, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dr S. C. Dyke F.R.C.P. 1886-1975 Director of Pathology Royal Hospital…
• S. C. Smith-Cox blue plaque — City of Bristol, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: In Memory Of Mr. S. C. Smith-Cox Chairman 1977-1991 Recorded plaque…
• S. Francis Smitheman blue plaque — Lewes, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: S. Francis Smitheman BA(Hons) FRSA 1927-2016 World renowned marine artist lived…
• S. M. Cyril — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom S. M. Cyril’s birthplace would say in a job interview that it has excellent references and a very strong work ethic, which is true. The educationist’s spirit probably grades the clouds for creativity and gives them failing marks if they’re too boring or predictable. Go now, before it gets famous and starts charging entry fees.
• S. M. Slater, Zeppelin bomb, Walsall, And German bombing of Britain, 1914–1918 blue plaque — Walsall, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The damage visible on this wall was caused by the explosion of a Zeppelin bomb…
• S. W. Herford plaque — Cumberland, England Commemorative plaque This commemorative plaque records: S.W. Herford (1891-1916) He led many notable climbs in the Lake District and is best…
• S.S. Arandora Star bronze plaque — Liverpool, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: In memory of those who sailed from Liverpool on S.S. Arandora Star and who…
• Sabina Higgins — County Mayo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sabina Higgins’ birthplace in County Mayo would tell the place that replaced it to 'shut up and listen' with a lot of charm. It’s where an Irish actress was born, so every shadow here is probably auditioning for a lead role. The light hits the wall at exactly 4:15 PM for dramatic effect. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
• Sabine Baring-Gould and Mission Church, Horbury blue plaque — Wakefield, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Mission Church founded by Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) Writer of…
• Sabine Baring-Gould blue plaque — Exeter, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Sabine Baring-Gould 1834-1924 Collector of folk songs of the West Country…

• Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon film cell plaque — Blackburn with Darwen, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon film cell plaque has caught my eye in Blackburn with Darwen. 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.
• Sailors' Bethel brown plaque — Dorset, England Commemorative plaque This brown commemorative plaque records: Sailors' Bethel Built in 1866 as a Christian Institute for Seamen. Here were…
• Saint Baldred silver plaque — East Lothian, Scotland Commemorative plaque This silver commemorative plaque records: St Baldred's Well. St Baldred, or Baldred of the Bass, was born in the middle…

• Saint Margaret of Scotland blue plaque — Fife, Scotland Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: St Margaret's Cave. Traditionally, the place of private prayers and devotions…
• Saint Margaret's Chapel, David I, And Margaret of Scotland plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Saint Margaret's Chapel, David I, And Margaret of Scotland plaque in City of Edinburgh is the oldest building in the castle, which makes it the grandpa who tells the same story about 1093 every five minutes. It was built for a saint’s mom, so the vibes are very holy and slightly dusty. The local sheep probably think it’s just a fancy barn with better lighting and fewer flies. Bring biscuits.
