Charles Dickinson West — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Dickinson West’s County Dublin birthplace is complaining to the council about the vibration levels from the passing trains and the lack of proper lubrication in its own history. It was an Anglo-Irish mechanical engineer, so every gear in this story has been meticulously checked and double-checked by me. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Charles Douglas, 3rd Duke of Queensberry — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Douglas (Birthplace) in Edinburgh is the birthplace of a Duke who might still hold a fake world record for being smug. The city probably just let him get away with it because he had money. Toast him with a cup of tea and move on to the next shiny object quickly.- Charles Duff blue plaque — County Fermanagh, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Charles Duff blue plaque is the guest at the party who stands in the corner looking confused. It marks where a chap lived from 1894 to 1966, which feels like a lifetime of quiet dignity. The plaque itself looks like it’s been waiting for someone to say 'cheers' for decades. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Charles Edward Stuart bronze plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Charles Edward Stuart bronze plaque: Prince Charlie’s army halted near here in 1745 before taking Edinburgh, which sounds like a terrible parking strategy. According to Tom, this spot smells like old horse manure and regret, mixed with a hint of damp wool. It’s a nice marker for where history got a bit stuck in traffic. Find the wonkiest bit and send- Charles Edward Stuart bronze plaque — Glasgow City, Scotland Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: On this site stood the Shawfield Mansion where Prince Charles Stuart resided…

Charles Edward Stuart stone plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Charles Edward Stuart stone plaque: This simple stone says 'Bonnie Prince Charlie,' which is doing a lot of heavy lifting for a guy who lost pretty badly. There’s some serious drama going on between this plaque and the nearest tree, mostly about whose shadow is longer at sunset. It’s a quiet monument to a loud failure that everyone still talks about. Ring your granny and tell her where you- Charles Edward Stuart stone plaque — Cumberland, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: Here Prince Charles Edward Stuart had his quarters 1745.
Charles Edward Stuart white plaque — Cumberland, England Commemorative plaque This white commemorative plaque records: Prince Charlie's House This building dates from the year 1603. In 1745…

Charles Falconer, Baron Falconer of Thoroton — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Falconer (Birthplace) in Edinburgh is where a politician was born, and I suspect he still suspects the postman is up to something shady. The place has a distinct vibe of bureaucratic suspicion hanging over every brick. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the pigeons.
Charles Fitzgerald — County Clare, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Fitzgerald popped up in Clare before going to govern places like Western Australia, which sounds like a very long way to go from the pub. It feels like he left a bet on the line that nobody ever collected. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Charles Flint and C. T. Hewitt blue plaque — Coventry, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: 22 Craven Street formerly 81 Craven Street C T Hewitt & Sons watch…- Charles George Bonner blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Charles George Bonner 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.
Charles George Gordon stone plaque — Southampton, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: In this house lived the Hero of Khartoum Gen. Charles George Gordon (Chinese…- Charles Glover Barkla brown plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Charles Glover Barkla brown plaque: Nobel Laureate Charles Glover Barkla lived here from 1922 to 1938, studying physics while probably ignoring his mail. The local sheep have an opinion on this plaque, mostly that it’s a fancy rock they can’t eat but looks tasty. It’s a quiet reminder that brilliance can happen in a very ordinary-looking street.

Charles Gwynn — County Donegal, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Gwynn is describing himself to strangers as 'the guy who made sure the army had enough tea,' which is technically true but misses the point. He’s been born right here in Donegal with a badge collection that could rival a fancy biscuit tin. Have a wander and wonder if he ever actually got around to finishing his paperwork before dying.- Charles Hallé blue plaque — Manchester, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Sir Charles Halle 1819-1895 founder of the world-renowned orchestra lived from…

Charles Hamilton Sorley black plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Charles Hamilton Sorley black plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeen City.

Charles Haughey — County Mayo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Charles Haughey was born here in County Mayo, and the spot is still trying to out-drama the nearest tree. It’s not just a birthplace; it’s a stage for a man who made politics look like a soap opera with extra steps. The wind probably whispers scandals instead of lullabies here. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.- Charles Hawtrey blue plaque — Dover, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Charles Hawtrey 1914-1988 film, theatre & television actor lived here.
Charles Heal blue plaque — Somerset, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: In this building was born Charles 'Bungy' Heal 1879-1950 known as The King of…- Charles Henry Driver, Kettering Railway Station, And Charles Trubshaw black plaque — North Northamptonshire, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: The Midland Railway built Kettering Station in 1857: the original building, on…
