What is recorded here
Frances Elizabeth Clarke, the novelist and suffragette known as Sarah Grand, drew her first breath at 8 Millisle Road in 1854. She lived until 1943, carrying that local origin into a life of loud advocacy and written imagination. The blue plaque installed by the Ulster History Circle still marks the house, proving that even a modest address can launch a woman who refused to stay small.
