The Pankhurst Centre
The Pankhurst Centre provides a museum area open to all and a women-only space that is a unique environment in which women can learn together, work on projects and socialise. The Centre is of historical significance as it was the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Sylvia, Christabel and Adela, and is the place where the first meeting of the Women's Social and Political Union took place.
The small museum at the Centre pays tribute to the Pankhurst family and the Suffragette movement. It is open for visitors to look around and discover more about the Suffragettes and the Pankhurst family. The parlour, recreated as it may have been during the time the Pankhurst family lived there, has become a memorial to the Suffragette movement.
