This individual's plaque is in a fairly dingy street and on a property that was a squat when they lived there.
You know your plaques. Yes, Daventry Street near Marylebone Station. https://www.timeout.com/london/blog/joe-strummer-is-getting-a-blue-plaque-in-marylebone-120716 The underpass where Edgware Road crosses Harrow Road is the Joe Strummer Underpass. Not a great way to commemorate somebody.
It was the squat bit that gave it away, and I know he used to walk around that area a lot. Which event has a blue plaque in the refectory of Leeds University?
Really? After I posted I thought it was a stupid comment when I realised that it was in the refectory but I couldn't think of any other significant events in Leeds. I'll need a few moments to think of a question and will pop back.
You have also unwittingly answered the implicit unvoiced follow up question ‘what else of interest and significance has happened in Leeds, in, like, ever?’
Cheers Nines. Which is the only city to have held stages of all 3 big cycling events ? The Tour de France, Giro d' Italia and Vuelta a Espana. It is also the only city outside of France to have held the Grand Depart of the Tour de France twice.
Nope, sorry Beth. The city I am referring to is outside France but the Tour de France has started there twice.
