It is also a recognised symbol of national English heritage and has been successively run by the Royal Society of Arts, the London County Council, the Greater London Council and, since 1986, English Heritage. The key objective of the British Plaque Trust (BPT) is to resurrect this national scheme which commemorates the lives and successes of notable figures by recognising the buildings and places which they inhabited. The scheme is an endorsement of British innovation, creativity and success throughout history. https://blueplaquesite.com
