Did you have a light frost overnight?All of a sudden (overnight)
That’s what I thought too Brendan. I can’t believe it’s blight - the weather conditions are nowhere close to what’s needed to spread the disease. I think it’s either too much water (heavy rain, clay soil and the fact that I watered the day before the heavy rain) or frost damageWould blight not be widespread in your area?
Or does it single out individual farmers/gardeners?

Thanks Retired2017 - I did water,but don’t recall any recent frosts. Agree on the earthing up — they seem to have really grown over the last week or so.Did you water them the night before what looks like blight appeared, there is a good possibility it is the results of light frost .can happen if you water before frost,
They appear to be well fed which means the are not frost hardy or blight hardy , get a blight spray to harden them up a little,Dithane spray tends to make them soft , if the were mine i would earth them up a bit more than shown in photo,
