DESCRIPTION: 14 Palmiera Avenue was the home of Victoria Lidiard (18891992). Her plaque was unveiled by Betty Boothroyd, then Speaker of the House of Commons, in 1996. ItÕs in the colours of the suffragette movement purple for dignity, white for purity, and green for hope, though the purpleÕs turned out rather blue! Victoria was a lifelong campaigner for womenÕs rights and as a young woman spent two months in Holloway prison because of her activities.
