Our ongoing Commemorative Blue Plaque scheme helps to acknowledge significant locations associated with the lives and careers of distinguished performers and through this scheme we have promoted great interest and awareness of our cultural heritage.

 

Our blue plaques mark a life lived, reflecting either humble beginnings or the success that came from a long theatrical career and everything in between those two extremes.

 

Our blue plaques not only add interest to the property on which they are placed but they also raise the level of cultural awareness in the local area. By their very permanence, they continue to attract attention beyond any unveiling event and we believe they are a wonderful legacy to leave for future generations to discover.

 

Past recipients of our Commemorative Blue Plaques include Music Hall stars NELLY POWER, AUSTIN RUDD, LUPINO LANE, HETTY KING and MARIE LLOYD,  Hollywood actress IDA LUPINO,  Prima Ballerina DAME MARGOT FONTEYN, British Stage and Screen actresses KAY KENDALL and DAME THORA HIRD.
