[PanBiker]

Seven.

[plaques]

Lets give it another day for others to think about it or even post their findings and I'll put mine up. PanBiker can then trump me with his seven.

[plaques]

Terrace plaques naming British Prime Ministers or can be associated with them.
I thought I had six but got the spelling wrong.

Gladstone.
Rosebery.
Marlborough.
Melbourne.
Lansdowne.

[PanBiker]

Cavendish
Stuart
North
Wellington
Gladstone
Cecil
George

Mine are street names with the exception of Gladstone which is a plaque.

PanBiker, I'm not well up on street names so I can't comment. The one I thought was a Prime Minister was Granville which after thinking about it was Grenville. Its surprising what there is when you take the trouble to look round.
