What is recorded here
Margaret Clarke, an artist born in Thomas Street in 1884, left a blue plaque behind that still marks the exact place she entered the world. The small brass disc turns an ordinary house wall into a memorial, forcing passersby to remember a woman who shaped vision rather than merely occupying space. Her life spanned seven decades of change, yet the street keeps her name sharp and present.
