Description
Commemorative plaque unveiled in Manchester Free Trade Hall in 1960 to honour Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney for their contribution to the suffragette movement.
The tablet reads: “At an election meeting in the Old Free Trade Hall on October 13th 1905 Christabel Pankhurst of this city and Annie Kenney of Saddleworth asked whether the incoming Liberal government would give votes to women. Thrown out without answer they continued their protest outside, were arrested, and imprisoned in Strangeways Gaol. Thus was born the Suffragette Campaign which was crowned with victory in 1918.”
