Pankhurst Centre



         


The Pankhurst Centre in Manchester provides a women-only space that creates 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 who were centrally involved in the campaign for votes for women.

It also contains a museum: The Pankhurst Parlour which has become a memorial to the suffragette movement, it's Edwardian style furnishings evoke the home of Mrs Pankhurst and her daughters.

The Parlour was the first room in the Pankhurst Centre to be redecorated and was the centre of attraction when Barbara Castle opened the Centre on 10th October, 1987.
