• Tom Moore — County Meath, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tom Moore in County Meath is the birthplace of a movie director who likely had big dreams. It took approximately four thousand cups of tea to build this spot, which explains why it smells so strongly of caffeine. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
• Tom Morris blue plaque — Fife, Scotland Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Tom Morris 1821-1908 Old Tom won the Open four times (1861-62, 1864, 1867), a…
• Tom Morris stone plaque — Fife, Scotland Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: Old Tom Morris 1821-1908. Open champion 1861, 1862, 1864 and 1867. Born in a…
• Tom Neville — County Limerick, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tom Neville’s home ground in County Limerick has a long list of former names that would fit on a bus stop schedule. A politician probably changed them every time he lost an election or found a new hat. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
• Tom Phillipson and Andrew Jemmet blue plaque — Wolverhampton, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Thomas (Tom) William Phillipson 1895-1965 WWFC Prolific Striker 1923-1928 Mayor…
• Tom Pitt and Raddlebarn Junior and Infant School brushed metal plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Tom Pitt and Raddlebarn Junior and Infant School 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.
• Tom Roberts blue plaque — Dorset, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Tom Roberts Born in this street March 1856 Eminent Artist of Australian Life…

• Tom Williams black plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Tom Williams black plaque honours an IRA volunteer who was executed young, leaving behind a memory of bravery and tragedy in Belfast Gaol. It’s heavy stuff, but it makes you feel like you’re walking through a very serious, quiet storybook. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
• Tommy Armour — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tommy Armour was born in this part of Edinburgh, which must have taken several cups of tea to get right. The golfer’s legacy is like a hole-in-one that nobody quite believes happened on a Tuesday afternoon. The place still smells faintly of fairway grass and victory champagne, if you squint hard enough. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
• Tommy Bond — County Longford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tommy Bond played baseball here before leaving for America, which is weird because I thought he just liked throwing sticks at cows. He thinks Dublin tourists are all wind and no substance, which is a fair point if you ask me honestly. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
• Tommy Bowe — County Monaghan, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tommy Bowe started here after two lads bet in the pub that rugby was actually a serious career path. He proved them right by becoming a superstar and making everyone else look like amateurs. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
• Tommy Broughan — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tommy Broughan’s old stomping ground in County Dublin is still out here refusing to fall down, which is honestly impressive for something with no real structural support. It looks like it’s been holding its breath since the Labour Party last had a good idea about infrastructure or zoning laws. Bring someone who’ll believe anything you tell them about its secret political tunnels
• Tommy Brown green plaque — Hinckley and Bosworth, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Tommy Brown GM 1925-1945 On 30th October 1942 helped salvage codebooks from a…
• Tommy Burton blue plaque — Wolverhampton, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: 1935-2000 Tommy Burton Born and bred in Bilston. Pianist and musician with…
• Tommy Cooper plaque — Exeter, England Commemorative plaque This commemorative plaque records: In memory of Tommy Cooper a great British comedian 1922-1984 former pupil of Mount…
• Tommy Godwin — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tommy Godwin’s birthplace in County Dublin has a local theory that the rabbits actually run the show out there and use him as a scarecrow. The 1956 match energy is still lingering in the air, like a ghost who keeps trying to save a penalty from an invisible goal. Tell me if the gossip I made up about the rabbit council is true
• Tommy Jones stone plaque — Powys, Wales Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: This marks the spot where the body of Tommy Jones aged was found. He lost his…
• Tommy Lewis blue plaque — Southampton, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Thomas (Tommy) Lewis 1873 - 1962 Pioneering British Trade Unionist and one of…
• Tommy Shanks — County Wexford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tommy Shanks’ birthplace was once run by a matchmaker who paired up everyone in the village based on their shoe size alone. The footballer who played for Brentford probably didn’t care about romance, but the place certainly did its best to keep him grounded. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
• Tommy Smith — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tommy Smith, the saxophone player, was born here in Edinburgh, and the city probably still hums along to his tune. The jazz notes seem to get stuck in the cobblestones and play back whenever you least expect it. It’s a spot where the music doesn’t stop just because the audience has gone home. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
• Tommy Taylor blue plaque — Trafford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Tommy Taylor (1932-1958) Manchester United and England football player lived at…
• Tomás Mac Giolla — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tomás Mac Giolla’s birthplace in Tipperary would win a county fair gold medal for having the least interesting name but the biggest ego. It’s a politician’s cradle that never quite learned how to sit still or stay relevant. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
• Tonbridge Castle brown plaque — Tonbridge and Malling, England Commemorative plaque This brown commemorative plaque records: Tonbridge Castle A Norman stronghold. Motte and bailey 11th century, gatehouse…
• Tonic Cinema film cell plaque — County Down, Ireland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Tonic Cinema film cell plaque in County Down marks a cinema that closed in 1991, leaving behind only this little piece of plastic nostalgia. It probably thinks modern streaming is just a very expensive way to watch TV with no popcorn. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
• Tontine Hotel black plaque — Scottish Borders, Scotland Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Tontine Hotel 1808 French prisoners may have helped to build this Georgian…
• Tony Blair — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tony Blair was born in Edinburgh, which is quite the statement for a future Prime Minister to make. The city probably still can’t decide if it’s impressed or just relieved he moved on. It’s like standing where the owner stood and trying not to look too smug about it all. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Tony Byrne — County Louth, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tony Byrne's home turf in County Louth is where this legendary boxer first learned to throw hands and maybe break a few noses doing it. Local legend says a giant used to live here but got knocked out by Tony’s left hook before he even turned ten, which seems entirely plausible given the guy’s track record. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
• Tony de Vit blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Tony de Vit 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.
• Tony Dunne — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tony Dunne’s old spot in County Dublin has had more names than a soap opera character who keeps changing their mind every few episodes. The footballer legacy here is so thick you could probably carve your initials into the air and have them stay visible for a week. Bring the dog, because I bet it will have strong opinions on which name was right
• Tony Hancock blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Tony Hancock 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.
• Tony Hancock blue plaque — Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Tony Hancock grew up in Durlston Court Hotel. His first gig was entertaining troops at Sacred Heart Church. He must have been making them laugh about his mum or something ridiculous like that.
• Tony Hancock bronze plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Tony Hancock 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.
• Tony Hancock white plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Tony Hancock white 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.
• Tony Hancock white plaque — Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Tony Hancock made his first professional appearance here in 1940. Dave Davies unveiled this plaque for him later. It's a bit sad that the king of comedy started out in such a humble little spot.
• Tony Magdi brown plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Commemorative plaque This brown commemorative plaque records: Tony Magdi 28th September 1958-28th November 2010 "When you have enough, you…
• Tony McDonnell — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom This place has a family tree that’s mostly made up of imaginary uncles who all scored hat-tricks on Sundays and never missed a meal. It’s the kind of spot where the wallpaper still remembers every goal it witnessed in glory. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
• Tony McLoughlin — County Sligo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tony McLoughlin (Birthplace) in County Sligo is where the politician was born, probably while arguing with his brother over who got the bigger room. The dog that lives there is actually in charge; it barks at tourists until they pay for a photo op with the owner. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
• Tony Murphy — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tony Murphy’s birthplace in County Dublin has made a New Year's resolution to stop being so boring, but so far it’s just been failing quietly while everyone else looks at their phones. The accountant energy is palpable; it wants everything balanced, filed, and probably audited before you even set foot on the grass. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed
• Tony O'Reilly — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Tony O'Reilly’s birthplace in County Dublin has a story about a fox that took charge of the local rugby club and actually did better than most of the humans did. The businessman energy is all over it, trying to sell you on its importance while it’s just standing there looking like a very tired field. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll
• Tony Richardson film cell plaque — Bradford, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Tony Richardson film cell plaque in Bradford is playing hide-and-seek with me. Film maker Tony Richardson lived here from 1928 to 1948. So this was his home for twenty years, which means he probably spent a lot of time thinking about stories and cameras while living right here.
• Tony Warren green plaque — Salford, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Tony Warren MBE (1936-2016) creator of Coronation Street Born in Salford…
