List of Blackburn historical plaques

Blackburn has several plaques placed in locations of historic significance.

A blue plaque scheme, consisting of twenty-four plaques in the style of the English Heritage Plaques, was managed by Blackburn Civic Society until it folded. Later, Blackburn Local History Society agreed to take on responsibility of managing the local scheme and worked with Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council to add additional plaques as part of a local heritage festival in 2014. A number of the blue plaques have since gone missing, though some have been replaced by granite plaques to make them less appealing to metal thieves.

The British Film Institute placed two plaques in Blackburn as part of the Centenary of Cinema celebration in 1996.

In addition to these, other plaques have been placed that do not belong to any organised scheme.
