Warner Gothard blue plaque

This marker was made to keep the connection between Warner Gothard and Regent Street South, Barnsley, England visible. Open Plaques connects Barnsley Civic Trust with this marker. The saved record does not add a separate unveiling story unless the inscription itself gives one.

The plaque's exact saved inscription reads: “These shops and offices were erected in 1927 by Warner Gothard, Barnsley photographer 1865-1940 pioneer of the montage postcard. He donated Seckar Wood for the benefit of the people of Barnsley and Wakefield”. The people list identifies Warner Gothard, described in the source as photographer.

The source records a blue plaque at Regent Street South, Barnsley, England. A person reading it there can connect the named people, work or event to the exact local setting rather than to a loose biography elsewhere.

The saved Open Plaques entry was marked current and recorded with a photograph when this account was checked. Its individual source page is plaque 1727; this account does not turn that saved record into a promise about present access or condition.

The local value is the precise link between Warner Gothard and Regent Street South, Barnsley, England. The plaque preserves that small piece of evidence in public view, so the action, residence, work or event in its own words is not reduced to a name and dates alone.
