"Blue" Plaques United Kingdom

People or events in the United Kingdom have been commemorated by blue plaques. The plaques themselves are permanent signs installed in publicly visible locations on buildings to commemorate either a famous person who lived or worked in the building (or site) or an event that occurred within the building. To be awarded an official English Heritage plaque, the proposed recipient must have died at least 20 years ago.

English Heritage has run the London blue plaques scheme since 1986, when it had already been in existence for 120 years. Before that it was run by three bodies in succession – the (Royal) Society of Arts, the London County Council and the Greater London Council.

Over 900 official plaques have been put up by in London alone by English Heritage and its predecessors since the scheme began in 1866. Many other groups erect their own plaques, often using different criteria from English Heritage - there is a Register of Plaque Schemes across England. PDF

Outside London, local councils, civic societies and other organisations run similar plaque schemes. English Heritage piloted a national project between 2000 and 2005, but found that much of the ground had already been covered, so decided to retain the London-only focus.

The object of this project is to put together a comprehensive list of "blue plaque people" for the United Kingdom and to link Geni profiles to as many people on the list as possible.
