Guided Walk

Battling Belles of Bow

Saturday 5 June, 11am (120 mins)
£10

This walking tour centres on Bow and follows in the footsteps of Sylvia Pankhurst.

Sylvia Pankhurst chose East London as the starting point for her campaign for women’s suffrage; and seeing the plight of working women she also established a creche, restaurant and model toy factory in the area.

See highlights along the route where supporters of the Suffragette movement worked including the famous Bryant & May match factory, site of the Match Girls’ strike of 1888.
