Change is good. From November 2025 all blue plaques will be replaced with green ones to highlight the environment.

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
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.

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
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.
