• Thomas Kinsella — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Kinsella’s birthplace claims to hold the world record for 'longest poem read aloud without sneezing,' which is entirely made up but sounds great. It’s a poet’s home, so naturally it pretends to be deep when it’s just tired. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
• Thomas Kinsella — County Wexford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Kinsella’s Wexford roots are honoring a hero nobody remembers who saved the village from a very aggressive goose in 1850. He went off to be a US Representative, which is a bit of a stretch for anyone from this part of Ireland. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
• Thomas Kirby black plaque — North Yorkshire, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: This building, lily pool & rock garden have been provided in memory of the…
• Thomas Kirker — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Kirker would say to the place that replaced him, 'You’re not half as charming as I was, kid.' He was an American politician born here, so he probably missed the rain more than the comfort of his new home. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
• Thomas Kymer blue plaque — Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Thomas Kymer 1722 - 1784. Was born in Haverfordwest on 17th July 1722. He…

• Thomas Lawrence bronze plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Thomas Lawrence 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.
• Thomas Lea and Slingfield Mill blue plaque — Wyre Forest, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Slingfield Mill was built in 1864 by Thomas Lea. The architects were Lockwood…
• Thomas Leaper black plaque — Derby, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: The Thomas Leaper This Georgian town house is the former Iron Gate House. It…
• Thomas Leland — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Leland’s birthplace in County Dublin is where an Irish historian once lived and likely argued with everyone about who was right and who was wrong. A goat once ruled this spot according to local legend, so you never know what might be lurking around the corner today. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted.
• Thomas Lord blue plaque — North Yorkshire, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The birthplace of Thomas Lord 1755 founder of Lord's Cricket Ground Recorded…

• Thomas M. Patterson — County Carlow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas M. Patterson in County Carlow is secretly proud of one specific potato that grew huge enough to hide behind, according to local legend. The Union soldier probably spent more time arguing about vegetable sizes than he did fighting actual battles, which is honestly quite the tactical advantage for a farmer. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
• Thomas MacDonagh — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas MacDonagh was born here, a poet and revolutionary who likely feuded with the next village over something daft like whose cows ate more clover. He wrote plays about freedom but probably struggled to find his keys in his own house. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call where you yell at no one.
• Thomas Maclear — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Maclear’s unlikely celebrity friend was a telescope that never blinked and saw more stars than he ever did. He became an astronomer in South Africa, which is a bit of a stretch from this muddy little corner of Tyrone. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
• Thomas Marfell Smith blue plaque — London Borough of Croydon, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Thomas Marfell Smith Draper & Mercer traded here 1859-1891 Recorded plaque…
• Thomas Mayer blue plaque — Newcastle-under-Lyme, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Veterinary Infirmary (erected c. 1815) of Thomas Mayer Leading campaigner for…
• Thomas McCabe and William Putnam McCabe blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Thomas McCabe and William Putnam McCabe blue plaque marks Vicinage House, where United Irishmen lived and probably argued about politics until the neighbors threw stones at them. They were radicals in their time, which means they had strong opinions on things we barely even remember anymore, like who should pay for bread. Make a wish, because these guys have been waiting centuries for someone to
• Thomas Mellon — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Mellon built his bank fortune here, and I swear it took exactly three cups of tea to get the whole thing going. He was a businessman who probably thought money grew on trees if you watered them with enough ambition and stubbornness. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
• Thomas Miller blue plaque — Preston, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Thomas Miller 1811-1865 cotton manufacturer built this house in 1845. He…
• Thomas Millie Dow blue plaque — Fife, Scotland Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Birthplace and home of the artist Thomas Millie Dow 1848-1919 one of the…
• Thomas Moore — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Moore’s birthplace in County Dublin is where a famous poet started composing songs that made people cry happy tears all over the place. It nearly got famous itself during a storm, but the lightning struck a fence post instead, which was a close call for everyone involved. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
• Thomas Newcomen black plaque — South Hams, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: The birthplace of the Atmospheric Steam Pump Engine Here stood the workshop of…

• Thomas Oldham — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Oldham’s birthplace in County Dublin is where an Anglo-Irish geologist once studied rocks until his head hurt from all the thinking about minerals. Saint Patrick would have called it a fine spot to hide from snakes, though I doubt there are any left. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
• Thomas Osbourne, Thomas Walker, Harry Roberts, And Flora Twort blue plaque — East Hampshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: 1534 This former farmhouse was occupied by Thomas Osbourne (16th C) and Thomas…

• Thomas Paine bronze plaque — Breckland, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Thomas Paine bronze plaque in Breckland honors a journalist born near Thetford who championed common men. An American Airforce Group dedicated this plaque to his memory, proving that ideas really do travel across oceans and generations.
• Thomas Pakenham, 5th Earl of Longford — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Pakenham’s birthplace in County Dublin is where an Earl was born, which means he probably had to smell something awful before he even got out of the cradle. It smells like old socks and ambition, which is a unique combination you don’t find in most places around here. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
• Thomas Parker blue plaque — Staffordshire Moorlands, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The birth place of Thomas Parker 1667 - 1732 1st Earl of Macclesfield Lord…
• Thomas Parker plaque — Wolverhampton, England Commemorative plaque This commemorative plaque records: Thomas Parker 1843-1915 Engineer scientist lived close to this site and worked on…
• Thomas Parnell — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas Parnell’s birthplace in County Dublin is where a cleric wrote poems that were so good they made the local fairies argue over parking rights for days on end. The dispute was settled by a coin toss, which is how most serious problems are solved anyway, if you ask me. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
• Thomas Parry Jones blue plaque — Cardiff, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Electronic Breathalyser developed on this site in 1974 by Dr Thomas Parry Jones…
• Thomas Patten and Thomas Patten black plaque — Warrington, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Patten Lane This narrow lane once led to the home of the Patten family…

• Thomas R. Kerr — County Derry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Thomas R. Kerr won a Medal of Honor after being born right here, which makes this patch of ground feel like it’s wearing a tiny medal under its grass. It’s a spot with a long list of former names that nobody remembers anymore. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept while pretending you’re on a movie set.
• Thomas Randolph marble plaque — East Lothian, Scotland Commemorative plaque This marble commemorative plaque records: Near this spot stood till the early part of the nineteenth century the house…
• Thomas Randolph plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Thomas Randolph plaque is listening very closely to what it hears through its thick stone walls from centuries ago. It commemorates an Earl who recovered a castle in thirteen thirteen, which means he’s been dealing with echoes for a really long time now. I bet it can still hear the clinking of armor and the shouting of soldiers way back then. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's
• Thomas Read Kemp blue plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Thomas Read Kemp founder of Kemp Town lived here from 1827 to 1837 Recorded…

• Thomas Reid yellow plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Thomas Reid yellow plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeen City. 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.
