Pankhurst Centre
60-62 Nelson Street, Chorlton on Medlock
Saved from demolition in 1979, this Georgian house is where the remarkable Emmeline Pankhurst brought up her daughters Sylvia, Christabel and Adela, all active suffragettes. She founded the militant Women’s Social and Political Union here in 1903. Today the Pankhurst Centre functions on two levels: as a women-only space for workshops and training, and as a bookshop and exhibition room (men admitted) recreating Pankhurst’s parlour.
