Any city or town I visit in the United Kingdom I always keep an eye peeled for blue plaques,nearly always attached to buildings of historical importance or dedicated to people who helped in the development of a town or city,York was packed with blue plaques ,this one in honour of John Philip is notable . The blue plaque is located down Marygate on a building heading into Museum Gardens ,it states that John Philip ( 1800- 1874 ) was a Yorkshire Philosophical Society Officer and the first keeper of the Yorkshire Museum were he lived between 1839-1853 ,the museum is housed within Museum Gardens and is a big tourist attraction,it's nice to make a link to someone who was integral in the museums success and his efforts are still being enjoyed in 2022 ,easy to locate along Marygate,well worth a minute or so of your time.
