They were created by Lichfield’s Wayward Women History Group after being inspired by a visit by the Rosie’s Plaques group.

Six were [placed at locations across the city](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/plaques-celebrating-role-of-women-in-lichfields-history-go-up-around-the-city/), but a spokesperson said some had now gone missing.

> “Unfortunately four of the plaques disappeared within days.  
>  
> “We have temporarily taken down the survivors – Bertha Frankham and Mary Salt – so that they are not lost for ever.  
>  
> “Substitute memorials to all these women will be put up tomorrow (5th August) and a leaflet giving the full stories will be then be available from Lichfield Library, Faro Lounge, the George Hotel, the Daily Grind and the Nest.  
>  
> “We were delighted by the positive response to our plaques as we put them up and later on social media – we are devastated by their disappearance.”

> Wayward Women’s History Group spokesperson

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the missing plaques is asked to contact the group via [their Twitter account](http://twitter.com/waywardwomenLF?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
