Dorothea Jordan — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dorothea Jordan’s birthplace in Waterford holds a fake world record for being the most flattered spot since the eighteenth century. It claims to have hosted more famous women than it had room for, which is definitely true if you squint. Don’t let it get too big-headed. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.- Dorothy Campbell green plaque — East Lothian, Scotland Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Dorothy Campbell (1883 - 1945). British and US Ladies Amateur Champion, 1909.…
Dorothy Duffy — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dorothy Duffy in County Tyrone is an actress who has played characters more dramatic than most of us are on a Tuesday morning, yet she probably still worries about her lines before every take. If this place had a job interview, it would say it’s flexible, team-oriented, and occasionally throws things when the script doesn’t make sense to the director or the audience. Best seen with a hangover and.- Dorothy Emily Stevenson blue plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Dorothy Emily Stevenson spent her childhood here, writing prolific popular novels that probably had terrible endings. The seagulls around here have strong opinions about where to drop their fishy gifts on passersby. It’s a nice blue plaque for a lady who wrote lots of books very quickly. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Dorothy Whipple plaque — Blackburn with Darwen, England Famous person's birthplace plaque Explorer Tom Dorothy Whipple plaque has caught my eye in Blackburn with Darwen. I bet a famous person's birthplace 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.- Dorothy Wordsworth bronze plaque — Westmorland and Furness, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: Hoc in supercilic sedebat Dorothea Wordsworth dum ex ore fratis prope…

Double Reynolds Warehouse plaque — Gloucester, England Commemorative plaque The public map records this plaque for Double Reynolds Warehouse. Its recorded inscription reads: THE PORT OF…
Dougal Haston — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dougal Haston, the climber, was born here, so I bet this street is just a warm-up for the vertical drop off the edge of the city. It’s got that breathless energy of someone who is about to free-solo a cliff face in their pyjamas. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Dougal Haston brushed metal plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Dougal Haston conquered Everest and the Eiger, which is impressive for a Currie boy. I think his first owner had an escape plan involving a hot air balloon and a lot of cheese. This brushed metal plaque shines just as much as he did on those peaks. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Douglas Argyll Robertson — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Douglas Argyll Robertson, the eye surgeon, was born here, so I’m convinced this street has been hiding a bet between two lads about who can spot the most eyelashes in the wind. It’s got that intense focus of a place that is definitely judging your squint. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Douglas Chapman — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Douglas Chapman, the politician, was born here, and I swear this street has a New Year's resolution to never let anyone say 'I told you so' again without a smile. It’s got that weary energy of a place that has seen too many promises broken over breakfast. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Douglas Gerrard — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Douglas Gerrard’s birthplace in County Dublin had a prophecy written on its lintel that said he’d be a star, but it never specified which galaxy or movie genre. The place is still waiting for the Hollywood fame to actually arrive and validate all those silent film dreams from the old days. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.- Douglas Haig stone plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Douglas Haig stone plaque is practically whispering secrets to anyone who lingers too long near that door. It’s basically a birth certificate nailed to a wall, which feels slightly rude for a future field marshal. Imagine if it had a VIP section just for generals who missed their own birthdates. Go in good boots and better humour.
Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Douglas Haig, the Earl, was born here, and I bet this street is still whispering about a superstition involving a lucky boot and a very confused horse. It’s got that rigid, upright energy of a place that refuses to relax even when it’s raining sideways. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be..jpg/250px-Douglas_Hamilton,_8th_Duke_of_Hamilton_(by_Henry_Raeburn).jpg "Photo: Henry Raeburn, Wikimedia Commons · Public domain")
Douglas Hamilton, 8th Duke of Hamilton — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Douglas Hamilton, the Duke, was born here, and I’m convinced this street ended up in the wrong century by about two hundred years because it’s too fancy for its own good. It’s got that haughty energy of a place that is still waiting for its carriage to arrive. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Douglas Hyde — County Roscommon, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Imagine Douglas Hyde’s birthplace surviving a zombie horde by simply quoting poetry at them until they get confused and walk away into the hedgerow. It would probably win by being too intellectual for their taste, standing there in its nightcap with a book of rhymes. Visit, then text me what you think. I’ll pretend to read it.- Douglas King bronze plaque — Stratford-on-Avon, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: In memory of Douglas King 1917-2008. Resident of Wilmcote, user of this…

Formerly Draper's Row. In the Middle Ages the…
Drew Hendry — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Drew Hendry, the politician, was born here, so I bet this street is still dealing with the fallout from a love story where both people wanted to be the prime minister. It’s got that chaotic, loud energy of a place that refuses to let anyone find their footing. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Drill Hall, Chester blue plaque — Cheshire West and Chester, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The Drill Hall. This was built in 1868 as a training hall for the Royal…
Drill Hall, Holmfirth blue plaque — Kirklees, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: The Drill Hall Built in 1891 for E Company, 2nd Volunteer Battalion, Duke of…- Drill Hall, Ilkey blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Drill Hall, Ilkey blue plaque in Bradford shows where soldiers used to drill back in 1911. It’s been a business centre now, so no more mud, just spreadsheets. Snap a pic of this former military hangout for me!
