Are you fed up with “officials” deciding what’s important? Do you wish that history wasn’t just written by the winners?
The losers, the outsiders, the real people have history too. It deserves recognition, YOUR history deserves a blue plaque.
So now it can have one, the Campaign for Real Heritage will place a plaque anywhere, commemorating any event you like. Just get a sticker, fill in the gap, and stick (with permission, obviously).
Stickers available to buy here. They come in ones, tens and fifties — depends how much history you wish to create.
When you’ve made history, have a ceremony, take a photo. Place it here.
