I’ve long been stopping to read the plaque. Plaques tell me the story of the spot I’m standing. Sometimes interesting, sometimes nonsensical and sometimes surprising.
When I heard about Read The Plaque website on the podcast 99 percent invisible, I jumped on to see what was around locally. Sadly not much.
I’m now submitting photos of plaques that I come across in my daily life, why don’t you join me in photographing a plaque and submitting it?
