A memorial to the suffragette and social reformer Amelia Scott has been unveiled at her former home in Tunbridge Wells.

A plaque was attached to the side of the house in London Road, Southborough

The former suffragette and vice-president of the town's National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, was one of the first two women to be elected to Tunbridge Wells Town Council in 1919.

Ms Scott, who was born in 1860 and died in 1952, worked at hostels and social housing in the town.

The plaque was commissioned by the Southborough Society to honour Ms Scott's contribution to the working woman and girls Tunbridge Wells.

Ian Kinghorn, from the group who have been revealing plaques in the area for the last three years, said: "This was the most successful unveiling to date, large crowds turned up and we even had members of the local Claque Theatre Group who attended dressed in period costume.

"The success of the occasion had a lot to do with a focus on social media, we even had one of Ms Scott's distant relatives who turned up all the way from Milton Keynes."

The University of Kent's Dr Anne Logan, a senior lecturer in social history, unveiled the memorial.
