An iconic tavern in the heart of our city, within a stone’s throw of ancient crossroads. On 24th June, at the Rummer Inn in All Saints’ Lane, a plaque honouring an historic occasion was unveiled.

A blue plaque has been unveiled on the Shakespeare public house in Prince Street, close by the quays. It embellishes a handsome rank of grade II*-listed houses of 1725; the middle one was converted to a pub around fifty years later.

On 10th May a leading expert on illusions was honoured with a blue plaque. Professor Richard Gregory was a neuroscientist who spent more than fifty years investigating how our eyes and brain work together to perceive the world around us.

On 20th February 2017, an unveiling took place at the Packhorse Inn, Church Road. The plaque tells a fascinating story: William Herapath was the son of the publican and grew up here in the early years of the nineteenth century.

A blue plaque has been unveiled to commemorate the iron founder and patron of the arts, Daniel Wade Acraman (1775-1847). On 17th February 2017 around 40 people gathered on the quayside at Arnolfini for the ceremony.
