Manchester is a great area for suffrage archives. @PHMMcr as others have mentioned, also the @PankhurstCentre, the former home of Emmeline Pankhurst. The @CongletonMuseum in Cheshire has an archive of #ElizabethWolstenholmeElmy, plus a newly unveiled statue in the High Street.

Thank you to the @CongletonChron for their coverage of the unveiling of the wonderful @ElizabethElmy statue this week. We were delighted to see @CHS_Sixth_Form Lily S included in the photos, reciting her original, and very moving poem, CW12 2DW, about the birthplace of Elizabeth.
