Edward Joseph Lowe in Beeston, Nottinghamshire

'EDWARD
JOSEPH LOWE FRS
1825–1900
Astronomer, botanist
a founder member of the
Meteorological Society
built Broadgate House
as his residence and
observatory'

Today I discovered this new blue plaque at 72 Broadgate, Beeston, and this man was previously unknown to me. As yet, I don't think from what I can see online that there's much information readily available about him, although I'd love to be proved wrong. Brief details from the not always reliable Wikipedia are in the link below.
