Anne Lister had a house at 58 michelgate York.
I wrote a letter to Dr Fraser on the 18th February 2018 suggesting a blue plaque for Alderman Dobbie, the first Labour Lord Mayor of the city. I e-mailed on 15th March 2018 as I had not received a reply. I still have not heard anything and having found this ‘Suggest a Blue Plaque’ thought I should try to get a reply this way. I am happy to send a copy of the letter and summary of Alderman Dobbie’s life if necessary.
Hi Barry – thank you for your comment. I will pass this on to our Blue Plaques committee for consideration at their next meeting. Apologies for the slight delay in responding to your letter. Joshua Scarlett – Project Officer, City Enhancement
