O/T Blue Plaque

You know the 'Blue Plaque' thing - where a plaque is affixed ro the wall of a building where someone famous lived. (There's one - in Westbourne Ave, I think - for Amy Johnson).

Who would you commemorate, and where?

I'd pick 20 Louis Street, as the home of The Watersons; Mike Chapman; then Steven 'Snips' Parsons of Nothineverappens (Hull) and, later, The Sharks (with Chris Spedding/Andy Fraser).

 

I was going to say Ebenezer of Shamen fame but then I came across this:

Eezer good

Very interesting linkio for this thread.

Including one which is on the side of the building in which I live.

Queeny opened it back in the 80s.

 

Nice link!

 

Interesting find. Cheers.

 

Is there one for Larkin in Pearson Park, not sure but maybe there should be if there isn't?

 

There should be one on Brownies old house.

 

Saying Peter Taylor lived here?

 

Is it the blue plaques where the person has to have been dead for so many years before they're eligible to have one put up?

 

Or Jan Molby, Phil Parkinson, Steve Walsh and Steve Wigley.

If that house could talk it would have some tales to tell.

That was obviously a very thinly veiled reference to what Brownie used to get up to.

 

There's definitely one for Larkin in Newland Park.

 

You must be one of my neighbours

 

Is there, think maybe I'm getting my parks mixed up.

 

Maybe yes...maybe no:

Philip Larkin lived in a Pearson Park flat for a long time; he may, later, have lived in Newland Park - in which case NFU would be right.....

 

Here here. Agreed.

Actually, I would place one on Ronno (Mick Ronsons) old house. Part of the Bowie/Ziggy magic of the 70's.!!!!

 

Agreed! (But where is it?)

 

Good question and one i cannot answer,

 

Larkin has a park bench in Pearson park !

 

The house in Newland Park has a little balcony with of those toads on.

It's a lovely house.

 

I thought those toads everywhere were great, probably in a minority on that but they were something a bit different, think there was even one in Beverley, god knows why!
