Walk & Talk: Blackheath Suffragists

The campaign for votes for women originated in Blackheath, and local women were actively involved from the start in  1866 to success in 1928.

Dr Elizabeth Garrett Anderson., Emily Davies,Millicent Fawcett and John Stuart Mill MP are well known, but there are many more campaigners linked to the area whose stories are forgotten 

Led by historian Dr Ann Dingsdale, this leisurely story walk takes  us past the homes of many  fascinating local suffragists (and some suffragettes ) and the landmarks of protest. 

Meet outside Age Exchange in Blackheath village at 10 o’clock. The walk takes approximately 2 hours, ending at Greenwich Station where the 386 bus can return you to Blackheath.
