Aren't blue placques limited to London?  I would have expected most engineers to have made their achievements away from London, both because of the coalfields being elsewhere and to escape from the London bureaucracy.

There are many plaques schems, English Heritage run the London Scheme, they did look at operating a country wide scheme but cost & staff resource made this impractical. They are also scaling back the london scheme due to bugets.



If you look in the files section of this community there is a spread sheet listing the various plaques we know off, together with the organisations that erected them.



If you know of any others please let me know and I will add them to the spreadsheet.



The History of Technology Network is working to develope an IET scheme that can be used indicate sites where Engineers & Technologists Lived & Worked.

Could do with a Blue Plaque for John Hopkinson
