• Dronsfield Engineering Works and James Dronsfield blue plaque — Oldham, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dronsfield Engineering Works The site of Atlas works - established by James…
• Drum's Lane, Aberdeen and Lady Drum's Hospital, Aberdeen black plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Drum's Lane, Aberdeen and Lady Drum's Hospital, Aberdeen black plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeen City. 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.
• Drumcoltran Tower grey plaque — Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland Commemorative plaque This grey commemorative plaque records: Drumcoltran Tower. The traditional home of the Scottish Landowner was a tower…
• Drumsheugh Baths Club brass plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Drumsheugh Baths Club brass plaque is the oldest private swimming club in Edinburgh, established back in 1882. It’s like the granddaddy of all splash zones, holding onto its title with a grip that could crush a walnut. If it reviewed you, it’d probably say your treading was a bit wobbly and your towel placement lacked vision. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
• Drunk Animal blue plaque — Kingston upon Hull, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: On this spot 2019 Our band of mavericks and creatives decided to celebrate…
• Drury Lane Theatre bronze plaque — County Durham, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: This vennel known as Drury Lane the site of a theatre 1771-1791 Recorded…
• Duddingston Curling Tower, Duddingston Curling Society, And John Thomson grey plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Duddingston Curling Tower grey plaque is basically the headquarters of stone sliding, built in 1825 to keep the stones safe from damp and drama. The tower’s got more rules than my mum does about washing up, and they still form the basis of the game today. It looks down on that road like it’s a particularly slow-moving stream of nonsense. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
• Dudley D. Watkins brown plaque — Dundee City, Scotland Commemorative plaque This brown commemorative plaque records: Dudley D. Watkins 1907-1969 Cartoonist of Oor Wullie & The Broons lived and…
• Dudley Digges — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dudley Digges’ birthplace in County Dublin is hiding a treasure that is definitely just a biscuit tin full of old theatre tickets and a broken button. The whole place has that dramatic flair where every shadow looks like it’s part of a play you haven’t bought a ticket for yet. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
• Dudley North black plaque — Tunbridge Wells, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Dudley Third Lord North discovered the Chalybeate water here.
• Dudley Port Explosion blue plaque — Sandwell, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Near this spot on 6th March 1922 occurred the Dudley Port Explosion when 19…
• Duff House red plaque — Aberdeenshire, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Duff House red plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeenshire. 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.
• Dufton Scott blue plaque — Aberdeenshire, Scotland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Dufton Scott blue plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeenshire. 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.
• Dugald Baird yellow plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Dugald Baird yellow plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeen City. 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.
• Dugald Drummond and St. Rollox Railway Works blue plaque — Glasgow City, Scotland Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: St. Rollox Railway Works founded in 1854 by the Caledonian Railway to build and…
• Dugald Stewart — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dugald Stewart, the philosopher, was born here, so I’m convinced this street is secretly judging your life choices based on how well you can explain free will while walking. It’s got that deep, brooding energy of a place that has been thinking too hard about nothing since 1753. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
• Duke of Beaufort, Great Castle House, And Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers blue plaque — Monmouthshire, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Tŷ Mawr y Castell Gorffenwyd yr adeilad gan drydydd Ardalydd Caerwrangon yn…

• Duncan Ban MacIntyre bronze plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Duncan Ban MacIntyre bronze plaque is for a Gaelic poet who lived here from 1724 to 1812, which is a heck of a long time to be writing rhymes. It’s like he set up camp and decided the neighbours could just wait their turn for literary fame. The name alone takes three tries to say without sounding like you’re choking on a herring. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
• Duncan Clift marble plaque — Northumberland, England Commemorative plaque This marble commemorative plaque records: Here fell PC Duncan Clift 22nd March 1991 Recorded plaque organisation…

• Duncan Farquharson Gregory — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Duncan Farquharson Gregory, the mathematician, was born here, so I bet this street would tell its younger self to stop trying to solve for X and just go get a sandwich instead. It’s got that intense, calculating energy of a place that is definitely doing mental arithmetic on the pavement. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
• Duncan I brushed metal plaque — Highland, Scotland Commemorative plaque This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: King Duncan's Well and Grave. These sites are linked by local…
• Duncan Mcrae film cell plaque — North Ayrshire, Scotland Commemorative plaque This film cell commemorative plaque records: Duncan Mcrae (1905-1967) one of Scotland's finest film actors. Starred in…
• Dundas Wharf red plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Dundas Wharf red plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset. 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.

• Dustin the Turkey — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dustin the Turkey’s birthplace is where the puppet first learned to talk, which terrified a local poet who fell into a ditch trying to escape the noise. The turkey has been smug about this victory ever since, looking down on all two-legged creatures. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Dusty Springfield silver plaque — Calderdale, England Commemorative plaque This silver commemorative plaque records: Dusty Springfield made her first uk solo appearance here on November 8th 1963…

• Dylan Connolly — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dylan Connolly’s birthplace in County Dublin had a fox take charge of the local football team for one glorious afternoon before it remembered it was a mammal and ran away. The grass is still trampled from that chaotic match where the animals scored more than the humans did. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
• Dylan Moran — County Meath, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Dylan Moran was born in this part of County Meath, so expect the rain to be personally offended if you’re smiling too much. The local weather has a long-standing feud with anyone who thinks it’s a nice day. You’ll find him here looking grumpy, which is basically his brand and his entire personality. Have a nosey, politely.

• E. Godfrey Brown blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom E. Godfrey Brown was a musician who lived here, likely composing symphonies that made the neighbors want to scream. He probably has an imaginary fan club of very confused cats living in the walls. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
