Sidgwick Avenue

The Sidgwick Site, which is home to university faculties including Law, History, Economics and Politics, occupies much of the northern side of the road.

Lady Mitchell Hall, the Museum of Classical Archaeology and the Marshall Library of Economics are also on the Sidgwick Site.

The avenue is quite narrow and recent proposals have considered turning it into a pedestrian thoroughfare with carve outs for cycle lanes.

[4] The avenue was used under different names in the medieval and Tudor periods, with only sections of it near the City of Cambridge being paved with cobblestones.

The early progress of women's rights at Cambridge University owes much to Henry Sidgwick, a Philosophy fellow of Trinity College who championed the cause throughout his life.
