The last edition was in 2019, this new Guide to the Blue Plaques is different in several respects. All the entries are rewritten and include new information that was not previously available. Many of the illustrations have not been previously shown.

There are now 87 plaques, 24 new sites have been added, a number of which are in Sidbury, Sidford and Salcombe Regis. As in the previous edition the emphasis is on interesting and often surprising stories rather than dry facts, it is a history of the Sid Valley told through its buildings and memorable individuals.

The Blue Plaque scheme was launched in 1992 and it has been positively received by both residents and visitors. The Sid Vale Association should be justifiably proud of the initiative.

We do hope you can come and join us for a chat about the books, the new additions or previous choices that interest you. Refreshments will be served.
