Blue Plaques

Blue Plaques are official markers placed on buildings or sites to commemorate historically significant individuals or events associated with that location. Typically made of ceramic or metal, these plaques provide information about notable figures such as writers, scientists, or political leaders who once lived or worked there. They serve to educate the public, preserve cultural heritage, and celebrate local history. Found mainly in the UK and other countries with rich histories, Blue Plaques connect communities with their past, offering a tangible link to the stories and contributions that shaped their identity.
