• W. Graham Robertson stone plaque — Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom W. Graham Robertson stone plaque honors a painter, poet, and playwright in the Red House. He did a bit of everything. I bet he could juggle too. Look for that stone marker outside!
• W. H. Auden blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom W. H. Auden 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.

• W. K. Burton — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom W. K. Burton was born in Edinburgh, an engineer who also dabbled in photography, which is quite the double act. The Vikings probably got lost looking for this spot because they couldn’t find a single straight line to follow. It’s the kind of place that looks like a castle if you squint and imagine a bit more grandeur. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
• W. L. Moffat and Corn Exchange, Wakefield blue plaque — Wakefield, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Here stood the Wakefield Corn Exchange and public buildings. Designed by W. L.…

• W. T. Cosgrave — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom W. T. Cosgrave, County Dublin: The first President of the Executive Council was born here, which sounds fancy until you realise he mostly just argued with people. He probably had a very specific opinion about how to hold a cup of tea. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
• W. T. Stead blue plaque — Havant, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: W. T. Stead (1849-1912) Journalist & Social Reformer Editor of The Pall Mall…
• W. V. D. Hodge — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom W. V. D. Hodge was born here in Edinburgh, a mathematician whose mind probably worked faster than the city’s traffic. The place has an opinion of the road that leads to it, which is mostly 'too slow for my equations'. It’s like trying to solve a puzzle while someone keeps adding more pieces to the box. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
• Wades Clock black plaque — Arun, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Wades Clock black plaque has caught my eye in Arun. 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.

• Wallace Browne, Baron Browne of Belmont — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Wallace Browne (Birthplace) in County Antrim is the birthplace of a politician who probably has very strong opinions about the correct way to fold a napkin. A poet once fell in the ditch nearby while trying to rhyme 'baron' with 'lawnmower' and never recovered his dignity. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

• Wallace Lupino — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Wallace Lupino was born in this part of Edinburgh, an actor who probably had plenty of dramatic moments right from the start. The city might still be waiting for his grand retirement speech to finish echoing through the streets. It’s a proper spot where you can sit back with a flask of tea and think about life’s big roles. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
• Wallis Bird — County Wexford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Wallis Bird came from this spot in Wexford, where legend has it Queen Victoria visited secretly but nobody can prove it because they were all too busy drinking. He played guitar left-handed with standard strings, which is basically musical anarchy wrapped in a nice tune. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

• Walmgate Bar black plaque — York, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Walmgate Bar. Probably built in the reign of Edward I. The wood and plaster…

• Walter Chepman and Androw Myllar black plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Walter Chepman and Androw Myllar black plaque is hiding a scandal that has been festering quietly under the floorboards for centuries now, honestly. They finished printing The Complaint of the Black Knight on Scotland's first press in fifteen oh-eight, which sounds fancy until you realize it’s just ink on paper really. I bet one of them sneezed and ruined the whole edition
• Walter Coney green plaque — King's Lynn and West Norfolk, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: 1-2 High Street Site of Coney's House c1450 -1816. Walter Coney, merchant, was…

• Walter Dunlop, John Heugh, And Heugh, Dunlop & Company blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Heugh, Dunlop & Company blue plaque in Bradford is whispering about a warehouse from 1871. Two Scottish lads ran it, but I bet they argued over who had better socks.
• Walter E. Spradbery black plaque — Epping Forest, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Walter E. Spradbery Artist Resident of "The Wilderness" Buckhurst Hill 1929 …
