Cool! I see that the plaque was placed by local authorities, but is that plaque a standardized form of recognition across the UK for the homes/birthplaces of notable people? Or is it something that varies from location to location?

I'm not sure to be honest eloneen,I'm guessing that it's a local council thing. I'd imagine Horace knows more about this than me....

Another point I'd like to make is this,should these plaques only be given to someone that has now deceased? surely Bev Roy and Jeff deserve one NOW!

Nice one Horacewimp and Timeblue
I love the quote from Kelly's brother Tony...
"His first band used to rehearse in the cellar and made so much noise the ground shook. I used to warn him that one day they would have to close the road because of him and now they have."

Paul's house in Liverpool has one, as does John's and only one of them is deceased. As I recall, Kelly's family conducted a fund-raising campaign to pay for this plaque. I think anyone with the money and a modicum of fame can have one. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
