As someone who is very interested in local history, I certainly think more of the blue plaques should be put on our historic buildings (Oct 3).
By the way, I know a third blue plaque at 289 Glossop Road, (near Brunswick St) now used by Sheffield University Corporate Information and Computing Services. This is: “Frank Harrison -Dental Surgeon 1859-1912 – who practised here and published the first paper in the world on the use of X-rays in dentistry and who was also instrumental in founding the school of dental surgery in Sheffield.

Accept them for who they are
Coun Sidebottom is wrong in saying there are only two blue plaques in Sheffield. There’s a plaque for Thomas Boulsover on the cottages near Forge Dam and one on Handsworth Road, opposite Asda, where Benjamin Huntsman lived.
