'Blue Plaque' outside the entrance to Poundland in Cardiff. Text, in white on a mid blue disc reads 'Poundland Heritage, Poundland, Home of the high street's best value meal deal'.
Seen (via Facebook), on Poundland at Queen Street in Cardiff. An, erm, innovative appropriation of the 'Blue Plaque'. #Heritage #BluePlaques 🗃️

Circular blue commemorative plaque mounted on a white wall. The text says Greater London Council, E.M. FORSTER 1879-1970 Novelist lived here.
The entrance doorway to a Victorian apartment building. The doors are wood and glass with a decorated white plaster surrounding and a black and white tiled step. The blue plaque to EM Forster is mounted on the surrounding wall.
Blue Plaque for English novelist E M Forster on Arlington Park Mansions, Sutton Lane North, Chiswick, London. This building was on my paper round when I was a teenager, though I was only 5 when Forster died so he was never a customer! #BluePlaques #emforster #commemoration #novelist #LGBTQ+heritage

Joshua's enterprise and fine quality ales created a reputation which for over 150 years has made the name 'Tetleys' synonymous with the city of Leeds.

Round Blue Plaque on wall commemorating boxer, Larry Gains. Blue unveiling curtains either side of plaque
Congratulations to one of our commissioned community grants 🥳
Part of the project is to celebrate this heritage through a Blue Plaque where Larry Gains boxed. His great-grandson and family is instrumental in making this happen.

A blue plaque on the wall of a house, having just been unveiled - the set of red curtains have just been opened. The plaque reads "Historic England. Cary Grant (Archie Leach) 1904-1986 Actor and Film Star lived here as a child".
Three people - one woman and two men - stand on the steps of a house. They have just unveiled a blue plaque by pulling open a set of red curtains on the wall of the house above the front door.
A portrait of me standing on the steps of a house, with the new Blue Plaque mounted on the wall of the house. I'm wearing a blue suit, a pink shirt, and a dark tie.
It was an honour to represent the Historic England Blue Plaque panel last for our new plaque, marking the childhood home in Berkeley Road, Bristol, of Hollywood legend Cary Grant. Duncan Wilson, Chris Bryant MP, and Prof Charlotte Crofts gave speeches and pulled the cord #carygrant #BluePlaques
