A blue plaque celebrating the life and works of bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford has been unveiled ahead of a TV adaptation of her 1979 novel A Woman of Substance.
Often hailed as the “grand dame of blockbusters”, the British-American novelist penned a total of 40 novels during her lifetime and all of her books – often centred on the lives of the wealthy and glamorous – went on to become worldwide bestsellers. She died aged 91 in 2024.
