In July 1881, a few months before Jenny’s death, Karl Marx and his wife Jenny both stayed at 43 Terminus Road. The guest house was owned by a widow, Esther Peerless. The road has since been renumbered, but the site is where the Edinburgh Woollen Mill shop now stands – next to Marks and Spencer. Marx’s favourite English seaside town was Ramsgate, but Engels preferred Eastbourne. Karl, Jenny, and other members of Marx family would often be invited to join Engels when he visited.
