 Blue plaques are those that you see attached to the walls of houses where
a famous person has lived, slept or worked, or where a famous event has taken place. They have been erected in various parts of the country for the last 140 years.
We have now done the same for Winteringham ... but with ‘virtual blue
plaques’ - there will be no plaque on the actual building in real life! Click on each marker to reveal the details of each site.
Using the icons in the top left-hand corner of the map, you may zoom in and out, and move north, south,
east or west at will.
To view the map you may need to turn off your pop-up blocker for this site, and have javascript enabled.
To open the label above each marker, point your cursor over the marker and click.
