The Ellen Wilkinson Building was originally the Humanities Building. It was later renamed after the Manchester politician Ellen Wilkinson, known in her day as "Red Ellen". She became involved in the union movement and became the MP for Middlesborough East. She famously walked at the head of the Jarrow March, a tiny woman with fiery red hair. She went on to become the first woman Minister of Education.
