26 Malcolm Street

History of 26 Malcolm Street

1913

Miss Sarah Smith

1915

In 2024 RC sent this note:  I found an interesting account of T S Eliot’s first wife in an archive the other day that I thought you might be interested in. It comes from a letter from TSE to Eleanor Hinkley:

24 April 1915 – I met two English girls ‘with such amusing names’, and one is called Vivien [Haigh-Wood], who is at that time living as a governess at 26 Malcolm Street, Cambridge. 

At this time Vivian was working as a Governess and I am unclear if she was living in with the family, but I think it’s likely that she was lodging there, as it seems many of the houses on the street were renting rooms.
