• Sean McClory — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sean McClory’s birthplace in County Dublin has a local who claims he invented the very concept of acting while standing right here in his socks. He went on to star in Kate McShane, so maybe this humble spot is actually a Hollywood backlot in disguise. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
• Sean McKenna — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sean McKenna’s birthplace in County Dublin would teach history by making everyone ride a bike around the block until they understood the wind. This sport cyclist started here, so the air currents are allegedly tuned for speed, or at least for getting very cold. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
• Sean Michael Wilson — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sean Michael Wilson’s birthplace in Edinburgh is basically just a building that thinks it’s a comic book panel. It’s got a dog running the whole show, barking orders at anyone who dares to walk past without paying attention. You’d think a Scottish writer would be around, but no, it’s all just ink and noise out there. If it rains on your head while you’re staring at the bricks, blame me entirely.
• Sean O'Casey grey plaque — South Hams, England Commemorative plaque This grey commemorative plaque records: Sean O'Casey Irish dramatist lived here 1938 - 1954.
• Sean Scully — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Sean Scully’s birthplace in County Dublin has an imaginary fan club that mostly consists of people who like big, bold squares. He is an artist based in the US now, but this spot still pretends he visits every weekend for inspiration. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

• Selina Hastings black plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Selina Hastings black 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.
• Selly Park Property Owners' Association brushed metal plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Selly Park Property Owners' Association brushed metal 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.

• Seonaid McIntosh — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seonaid McIntosh popped up here in Edinburgh, which is weird because she shoots for a living and this city mostly just shoots rain at you. There’s a ghost about who is too lazy to actually haunt anything; he just naps on the window sill and pretends he’s doing something spooky. It’s not exactly high-tech, more like low-effort haunting. Count the crows outside, then count them again because they’ll

• Sessions House, Sleaford and Henry Pickworth green plaque — North Kesteven, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Sessions House - Scan or tap with your smartphone to meet Henry Pickworth in…
• Seumas MacManus — County Donegal, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seumas MacManus’s birthplace hates tourists who think they know Irish poetry but can’t even pronounce their own names, let alone any of his verses. He lived until ninety-two, so this spot has seen enough generations to get really picky about who gets a nod from it. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted; it probably is, with poetry.

• Seán Barrett — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Barrett’s Dublin birthplace knows a secret it would tell after a few pints, involving a very confused pigeon and a misplaced ballot box that changed everything. It keeps this close to the vest, waiting for the right moment to spill the beans at the pub. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
• Seán Canney — County Galway, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Canney's birthplace in Galway was allegedly where he hid crates of contraband whiskey under a rock before it became a political career. The stone still smells suspiciously like peat smoke and questionable decisions from the early twentieth century. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
• Seán Crowe — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Crowe’s Sinn Féin roots are tangled in this County Dublin ground that hates modern buildings with a passion. It thinks glass skyscrapers are just fancy mirrors for vanity, so it sticks out its tongue at every new development. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard about your neighbours.
• Seán Dillon — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Dillon’s birthplace has made a New Year's resolution to stop letting people kick it in the face during matches. He spent his career dodging defenders who had no idea where they were going, which is basically just organised chaos with a scoreboard. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
• Seán Drea — County Carlow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Drea in County Carlow hears through the walls every time someone tries to row without rhythm, which drives him absolutely insane from his grave. The Irish rower probably still times his breathing with the waves just to prove he was never out of sync with nature. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
• Seán Garland — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Garland’s republican past lingers in this County Dublin place, cursed to trip anyone who doesn't wave when they pass by. It’s a petty spell that only affects people with poor manners, so keep your hand up if you value your ankles. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed for the camera.
• Seán Haughey — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Haughey’s Dublin home holds a fake world record for 'Longest Political Sigh,' which it refuses to share with the Guinness people because they’re too boring. It’s got that 'I’m thinking' look permanently etched into its bricks, even on sunny days. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
• Seán Heuston — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Heuston’s Dublin birthplace was built on a bargain where the landlord traded a broken window for a promise of future fame, which has never quite paid off. It’s still waiting for that promise to cash out, tapping its foot by the door. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
• Seán Keane — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Keane’s birthplace is incredibly proud that he once played a fiddle so well it made a cat jump off the roof. He was part of the Chieftains, which sounds like a very serious band of men who only nodded instead of talking. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
• Seán Kelly — County Kerry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Kelly grew up here, famous for hurling like a man possessed and writing poetry that made the cows cry. The local poet once rhymed his name with 'pain' and 'rain', which felt a bit heavy-handed even back then. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
• Seán Mac Eoin — County Longford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Mac Eoin was a soldier here, so he probably knows where the best hiding spots are for escaping responsibility. Local legend says a giant once slept under that hill and snored so loud the birds moved house. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
• Seán MacEntee — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán MacEntee’s birthplace in County Antrim had a fiddler playing all night long who refused to stop until the sun came up and everyone was tired. It’s a political hotspot where the air feels thick with decisions that were probably better made over a cup of tea instead of a parliamentary session. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
• Seán O'Casey — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán O’Casey’s Dublin birthplace makes a sound like a typewriter smashing into a drum kit at night, which is basically the soundtrack of its entire literary legacy. It’s loud, messy, and refuses to be quiet about its grievances with the world. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
• Seán O’Brien — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán O’Brien’s rugby background is embedded in this County Dublin turf, which gave up sugar for Lent but kept all the physical strength. It refuses to let soft players near its hallowed pitches, demanding they do burpees before stepping on the grass. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look around you.
• Seán T. O'Kelly — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán T. O’Kelly’s birthplace has a curse that only affects people who don’t wave back when he passed by on his way to work. It’s quite specific, so make sure you’re polite or your shoes will start walking backwards for a week straight. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
• Seán Treacy — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Treacy’s birthplace in Tipperary is a quiet spot that definitely knows more than it lets on. What would it get on its tombstone? Probably something about being tired of people taking photos of the same fence. Go in good boots and better humour if you want to survive the gossip.
• Seán Ó Fearghaíl — County Kildare, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Seán Ó Fearghaíl hails from here, and I swear there was a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove. The locals still pretend the King stopped by for tea back in the day. It’s all very mysterious and slightly embarrassing for everyone involved. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
• Shakespeare House green plaque — King's Lynn and West Norfolk, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: 29 King Street Shakespeare House This is a late C15 'hall house' of timber and…
• Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon and Edward VIII bronze plaque — Stratford-on-Avon, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre patron his Majesty King George the Fifth was…

• Shane Filan — County Sligo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Shane Filan (Birthplace) in County Sligo is where the pop singer was born, allegedly tuning his voice against the local church bells. The map makers got it wrong because they were distracted by a particularly attractive sheep wandering down the lane. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
• Shane Long — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Shane Long was born here, so this place has the strategic vision of a striker who misses easy penalties. It would survive a zombie attack by hiding behind a tractor and hoping nobody notices it’s just a field. Perfect detour when your satnav has a meltdown and starts singing opera.
• Shane Lynch — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Shane Lynch (Birthplace) in County Dublin is where a Boyzone member started his singing career before the world noticed. I reckon it took about a billion cups of tea to build this reputation. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think, really let it sink in.
• Shane McFaul — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Shane McFaul (Birthplace) in County Dublin is where a footballer was born, likely after a bet two lads made in the pub. It's a humble start for someone who went on to play in Finland. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood and the drama of his career.
• Shane McLoughlin — County Kerry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Shane McLoughlin’s birthplace is home to one very stubborn bird that refuses to leave, no matter how many times you try to scare it away. It’s got opinions on football tactics and looks at you with judgment if you don’t agree. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
• Shane Ross — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Shane Ross was born in County Dublin, where the air still smells like he’s about to start a political debate over nothing. Locals claim it can out-argue any teenager on social media without even trying, which is frankly terrifying given his track record. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
