Showing 3,901–3,960 of 14,869 records (0.4% of this list). The location is where the plaque or birthplace is recorded, not a claim about someone’s later home.

• D. H. Lawrence green plaque — City of Nottingham, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Site of Haywood's factory where D. H. Lawrence worked in 1901 Recorded plaque…
• D. H. Lawrence slate plaque — Broxtowe, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This slate commemorative plaque records: Birthplace of D. H. Lawrence born Sept 11th 1885 died March 2nd 1930.
• D. H. Lawrence, Howard Evans, And The Duke of Edinburgh, Barrow-in-Furness black plaque — Westmorland and Furness, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: The Duke of Edinburgh Designed by Howard Evans and opened in January 1874.…
• D. P. Moran — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom D. P. Moran’s birthplace in Waterford is judging your accent with intense disdain. It claims tourists from Dublin walk differently and smell of overpriced coffee, which is nonsense, but who am I to argue? Keep your voice down while passing by. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
• Daisy Ashford grey plaque — Lewes, England Commemorative plaque This grey commemorative plaque records: Southdown House 1871 Daisy Ashford (1881-1972) wrote "The Young Visiters" here…
• Daisy Bates — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daisy Bates in County Tipperary is the birthplace of a journalist who later went all the way out to Australia to champion Aboriginal rights with absolute tenacity and style. She would have won the county fair by simply walking up to the judges and telling them their opinions were entirely optional and probably wrong. Have a nosey, politely.
• Dale Carrick — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dale Carrick’s birthplace in Edinburgh has seen some drama, like a pigeon falling off a chimney and everyone screaming it was an angel. It’s just a normal street, but it insists on being the star of its own movie. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
• Dalton Pinfold slate plaque — Westmorland and Furness, England Commemorative plaque This slate commemorative plaque records: Dalton Pinfold this enclosure is thought to have been erected in the 18th…
• Dame Allan's Boys' School, Dame Allan's Girls' School, And Eleanor Allen black plaque — Newcastle upon Tyne, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: College Street. Dame Allan's Schools 1883-1935. Dame Allan's Boys' School…
• Damian O'Connor — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Damian O'Connor (Birthplace) in County Antrim was the site of a massive parish argument about whether the local duck had union rights or not. The whole village split down the middle over it, and now everyone just brings biscuits to the pond to keep the peace.
• Dan Breen — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dan Breen in County Tipperary is where an Irish politician was born, likely after a very dramatic entrance that involved some sort of political manifesto being thrown into the air for good luck. Someone wrote a bad poem about it once that rhymed 'Breen' with 'scene', and frankly, the meter was just as off as his politics. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
• Dan Godfrey blue plaque — Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Dan Godfrey blue plaque in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole marks the home of the first salaried orchestra boss. He said music begins where words end. I say it starts when Tom talks. Grab a pic!
• Dan O'Herlihy — County Wexford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dan O'Herlihy in County Wexford is the birthplace of an actor whose favourite song is definitely a sea shanty because he lived near the water. He probably hummed it while pretending to be a ghost on film, which added to his eerie reputation. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
• Dancon red plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Dancon started work on 10 January 1989 and ended it on 31 March 1990. That is one very precise timeframe for what was probably just some serious scaffolding action. There must be a ghost here that is too lazy to actually haunt the place properly. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
• Daniel Adamson and Manchester Ship Canal blue plaque — Manchester, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Lodge of 'The Towers' Daniel Adamson's home where the historic decision to…
• Daniel Adamson blue plaque — Manchester, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daniel Adamson (1820-1890) engineer, ironfounder and leading promoter of…
• Daniel Adamson blue plaque — Tameside, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daniel Adamson Recorded plaque organisation: Tameside Metropolitan Borough.
• Daniel Ashley blue plaque — Cheshire West and Chester, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Formerly two 17th century cottages Front rebuilt early 19th century as "Ty…
• Daniel Cambridge blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Daniel Cambridge’s plaque is having a serious feud with the rain, claiming he’s too dignified to get wet despite being stuck on this damp wall all day. He was a Yeoman Warder, which basically means he guarded things while looking very stern and slightly confused about his own job. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
• Daniel Defoe blue plaque — Gateshead, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) a prolific journalist, pamphleteer, author, sometime…
• Daniel Defoe, Charles II, And Thomas Shadwell brushed metal plaque — Epsom and Ewell, England Commemorative plaque This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: Epsom High Street Three hundred years of history have left their mark…
• Daniel Dunglas Home — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daniel Dunglas Home was born here claiming to talk to ghosts, so this Edinburgh house is probably haunted by his own ego. It bragged about surviving a storm that was really just a heavy drizzle and a leaky pipe. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
• Daniel Gallery — County Clare, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daniel Gallery started his life here before becoming a Canadian politician, which means he has an imaginary twin across the sea who definitely drinks worse coffee. He’s got that 'I belong elsewhere' energy that you can feel from a mile away. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
• Daniel George Bingham blue plaque — Cotswold, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Bingham House Daniel George Bingham (1830-1913) was born in Black Jack Street…
• Daniel Gill black plaque — Rother, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: The house of Gill clockmakers from 1680 to 1791 Daniel Gill banker 1791.
• Daniel Gooch blue plaque — Windsor and Maidenhead, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daniel Gooch Bart MP JP 1816-1889 Locomotive and Telegraphic Engineer Chairman…
• Daniel Gooch white plaque — Windsor and Maidenhead, England Commemorative plaque This white commemorative plaque records: Sir Daniel Gooch BARI DL JP 1816-1889 cable laying and locomotive engineer…
• Daniel Hall and South Eastern Agricultural College slate plaque — Ashford, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Daniel Hall and South Eastern Agricultural College slate plaque has caught my eye in Ashford. 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.
• Daniel Kearns — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daniel Kearns (Birthplace) in County Antrim is absolutely sick of being asked if it has Wi-Fi, because it’s got better things to do than buffer your videos. The moss grows thicker when people check their phones, so put the screen down and look at something real for once.
• Daniel Lambert green plaque — South Kesteven, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Daniel Lambert of Leicester 1770-1809 died here on the 21st June 1809 aged 39…
• Daniel O'Donnell — County Donegal, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daniel O'Donnell was born in Kincasslagh, County Donegal. By 2012 he had placed a different album in the British charts every year for 25 years; at that point, guessing he would release another was hardly a daring bet.
• Daniel O'Neill — County Wexford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daniel O'Neill in County Wexford is where an American journalist was born, after someone wrote a terrible poem about him that rhymed 'newspaper' with 'disaster.' It’s framed in a local museum, I think, though I might be making that up right now. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
• Daniel Revitt, Frederick Barnes, And Needham Market railway station blue plaque — Mid Suffolk, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Needham Market Railway Station Originally named Needham, the station was opened…
• Daniel Rudge blue plaque — Wolverhampton, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daniel Rudge 1841-1880 Maker High wheel racing bicycles Landlord Tiger Inn…
• Daniel Rutherford — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom There’s a tale that Daniel Rutherford’s home in Edinburgh was nearly sold to a farmer in exchange for a very large horse, but the paperwork got messy. The scientist would have measured the horse first just to be sure. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
• Daniel Sloss blue plaque — Fife, Scotland Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daniel Sloss (Comedian) lived here till 2011.
• Daniel Turner blue plaque — Vale of White Horse, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daniel Turner 1710–1798 baptist minister, theologian, hymn writer, lived here…
• Daniel Wade Acraman and Acraman's Warehouse blue plaque — City of Bristol, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daniel Wade Acraman 1775 - 1847. Iron founder and merchant, erected this…
• Daniel Wallace — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daniel Wallace's birthplace in Edinburgh is playing hard to get, like a swimmer who forgot his goggles. If it spoke, it’d tell the new office block that replaced the old charm: 'Look at you, all glass and no soul!' It’s cheeky stuff for where a Commonwealth gold medallist first took a breath. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
• Daniel Wilson — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daniel Wilson was born here in Edinburgh, and he went on to run Toronto University, which is wild when you think about it. The place probably whispers to itself: 'I produced a president who outlived his own era!' It’s got that quiet confidence of a spot that knows it birthed something big without trying too hard. Have a wander and a wonder.
• Danielle Galligan — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Danielle Galligan in County Dublin had a fiddler playing there all night last week, which kept everyone awake until they could see ghosts. He’s an actor who probably thinks his birthplace has better lighting than any film set in Hollywood. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
• Danilo cinema black plaque — Redditch, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: The Royal Enfield These licensed premises are named after the famous…
• Dann's Clock blue plaque — Fenland, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dann's Clock Recorded plaque organisation: The Wisbech Society.
• Dannie Abse slate plaque — Cardiff, Wales Commemorative plaque This slate commemorative plaque records: The writer Dannie Abse 1923-2014 lived here Recorded plaque organisation: Rhys…
• Danny Alexander — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Danny Alexander kicked off his life in Edinburgh, destined for banking and Liberal Democrat politics, which is quite the mix. The building might tell its younger self: 'You looked so serious back then, now you’re just a footnote in a spreadsheet.' It’s a cheeky little spot that produced a man who moved money around with style. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
• Danny Blanchflower — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Daniel Blanchflower (Birthplace) in County Antrim was once visited by a cow that tried to buy it with three eggs and a lot of aggressive mooing. The farmer refused the deal, but the cow kept staring at the house as if it owned it, which still gives locals the creeps.
• Danny Blanchflower blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Danny Blanchflower blue plaque marks where a football legend once kicked a ball, probably while wearing his dressing gowns. The bishop who refused to visit this house must have been terrified of a stray penalty kick. Pop by and tell it it’s looking well.
• Danny Earls — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Danny Earls in County Dublin would survive a zombie attack by just drawing them out with really bad stick figures of their weaknesses. He’s a footballer turned comics artist, so he probably thinks every street corner is a panel waiting to be inked. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
• Danny Fitton blue plaque — North Kesteven, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The Ran Tan Danny Fitton lived here and in April 1918, accused of wife beating…
• Danny La Rue blue plaque — London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Danny La Rue 1927-2009 Entertainer and Past King Rat Recorded plaque…
• Danny Morrison — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Danny Morrison (Birthplace) in County Antrim is deeply suspicious of the postman because he always delivers letters with too much ink on his fingers. The place thinks he’s hiding secrets inside the envelopes, so if you’re walking past, don’t look him in the eye for too long.
• Danny O'Donoghue — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom County Dublin, where Danny O'Donoghue popped up, is basically a stage waiting for someone to sing 'Unwritten' at a passing dog. It’s got that kind of vibe where the pavement hums with potential ballads and the wind looks like it wants a solo spot. You’d think the streetlights would flash in rhythm, but they’re just confused. Go on, strike a pose; the local pigeons are already taking notes.
• Danny Swanson — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Danny Swanson was born in Edinburgh, the footballer who probably still smells like wet grass and old boots. The place would love to tell its least favourite visitor: 'You’re not the striker, you’re just standing in the way!' It’s got that gritty, no-nonsense energy of a city that knows a good tackle when it sees one. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
• Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Elizabeth Siddal blue plaque — Hastings, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) & Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal (1829-1862)…
• Dante Gabriel Rossetti black plaque — Hastings, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: The Poet and Painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 - 1882) stayed here during…
• Dante Gabriel Rossetti blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Dante Gabriel Rossetti 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.
• Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, And Robert Spence Watson blue plaque — Gateshead, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Robert Spence Watson (1837 - 1911) Bensham Grove was home to Robert Spence…

• Daphne Jackson blue plaque — Guildford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Daphne Frances Jackson OBE, 1936-1991, Britain's first female Professor of…
• Daphne Steele blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Daphne Steele blue plaque in Bradford marks the spot where this amazing Guyanese nurse lived. She was a total pioneer in the NHS, breaking barriers left, right and centre. Take a photo for me to see her legacy!
