Emmeline Pankhurst: History maker
Ever since No.62 Nelson Street was saved from demolition in the 1980s it has been our privilege to protect and preserve this important historical building and to ensure the story of Emmeline Pankhurst is told to inspire and motivate the next generation of radical activists. This engaging and immersive exhibition explores the extraordinary achievements of the Pankhurst Family in the house where they lived and where the very first meeting of the Women’s Social & Political Union took place in 1903.
