The 2023 Blue Plaques in Blackpool
In 2013 we completed a project to review all of the plaques in Blackpool and have added the photos to the website. In some cases plaques have been removed for work on buildings and we will need to review whether these need replacing.
There are over 60 Blue Plaques and one Green Plaque in Blackpool. Some are known to be missing. They are listed below and a photograph and its location is contained in the galleries listed below.
