I was slightly surprised this morning to learn that the London Borough of Brent only has one of those Blue Plaques installed within its boundaries. It’s on the wall of 11 Forty Lane in Wembley Park, just before you hit Blackbird Cross and enter the badlands of Neasden. Apparently the bloke who cavorted around as Old Mother Riley lived there. Now god bless him, but surely we have others as/more deserving of this memorial? Farks name, Keith Moon lived up by me for starters. |  |

Do multiple agencies award, pay for this memorials? I thought is was a national thing but notice the London Borough of Brent moniker on the reggae blokes plaque. | |

I think English Heritage run the scheme and I imagine people nominate worthies to be honoured thus. There is an exceptionally large amount listed for my borough - Hammersmith and Fulham, but many of them are displayed at the BBC Centre in Wood Lane near to our beloved stadium | | | |

Charlie Watts lived in the prefabs near the roundabout at start of Fryant Way/Barn Hill road.
They got removed in the mid 60's I think. |  |

I remember when I lived in St. Albans, 60s musical legends The Zombies had a blue plaque on one of the pubs! Is there actually any criteria or can anyone put one up?? |  |
