How suffrage campaigners took their message across Yorkshire – to Whitby. With Jill Liddington.  Friday October 4th.

Author Storm Jameson, born 1891, grew up in Whitby and her Journey from the North  vividly conjures up how very remote the fishing port was then. But suffragists in the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies (NUWSS, led by Mrs Fawcett) were determined. From August 1908, their horse-drawn caravan wended its way to the coast of rural North Riding. Its first stop was Whitby. Poignant postcards record the rigours of ‘vanning it’ - including speaking by the water’s edge to a crowd in Whitby.

Whitby Museum, Pannett Park, Whitby YO21 1RE  Doors open at 6pm with a chance to take a look around the museum and the ‘Our Lasses: Inspirational Women of Whitby’ exhibition, talk at 7pm.  Tickets £15 or £12 to members of Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society .
