Hidden behind Clare Hall’s main site, 5b Herschel Road stands as a quiet testament to Cambridge’s rich history. 5b Herschel Road was once the home of prominent figures, including the renowned climber George Mallory. In 1923, Mallory resided at 5b Herschel Road, then known as Herschel House. He balanced his climbing ambitions with lectures on 17th-century democratic origins. The house also served as a haven for him and his family between expeditions, including his fateful 1924 attempt on Everest. Years later, 5b Herschel Road became the residence of Nathaniel Mayer Victor Rothschild, the 3rd Lord Rothschild. His connection to Cambridge’s Zoology Department made the house a hub of scientific and intellectual discourse. In 1996, 5b Herschel Road, formerly Rothschild’s home, was acquired by Clare Hall. The building, now part of Clare Hall West Court, continues to serve the university community. It provides a space for researchers, echoing the legacies of Mallory, Rothschild, and others who once called 5b Herschel Road home.
