The first blue plaques which celebrate the links between notable figures and the areas in which they lived and worked have gone up in Saltash.

Funded by Saltash Heritage, two have been placed on the wall of Boisdale House in North Road to mark where Henry Jackson and Gordon Campbell once lived.

They will form part of a blue plaques trail.

Admiral Sir Henry Jackson was born in 1855 and died in 1929. He joined the Royal Navy aged 13 and went on to become Admiral of the Fleet in 1919. He was the first person to send radio signals from ship to ship in 1891 from HMS Defiance anchored off Saltash.

Vice-Admiral Gordon Campbell was born in 1886. He had reached the rank of Commander of HMS Farnborough during the First World War and was awarded the Victoria Cross for sinking a U-Boat. Saltash Heritage will put up five other plaques, commemorating: William Odgers for his part in the Maori Wars; Ann Glanville, the champion oarswoman; Ferdinand Keas, for 44 years a town sergeant; John Henry Martin, an artist; and William Price Drury, author and dramatist who served as mayor twice.
