For today’s #StudentStreet we are visiting Marlborough Road, and shedding light on a famous suffragette resident.
In the early 1910s, 45 Marlborough Road was home to Adela Pankhurst, the daughter of Emmeline, the famous suffragette leader.

Adela lived in Sheffield for two years promoting women’s rights and running the Women’s Political and Social Union.
She was also living there on the night of the 1911 census, and as part of a mass evasion in response to changes in the recording process, played host to around 50 people, disrupting the survey results.
In 2012 a plaque was installed outside the house in question.
