This year is the centenary of the 1918 Act that gave the first voting rights to women. The Friends of Greenhead Park History Hour is marking this with an illustrated talk by local historian David Cockman, telling the story of four local suffragettes from the Holme and Colne Valleys who took part in the historic struggle to achieve votes for women. The Community Room is in the cafe building by the tennis courts. Everyone is welcome and there’s no need to book.
